Answer:

x = - 7, x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 7) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are + 7 and + 1 , since

7 × 1 = + 7 and 7 + 1 = + 8 , then

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

(x + 7)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Parallel lines e and f are cut by transversal b what is the value of x?
NikAS [45]

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Both lines are being cut by the same transversal so to solve for x, make both equations equal to each other

2x+10 = 3x-15

To isolate x, do the inverse operations (for any side chosen)

Do the inverse operations to move -15 and isolate 3x

Add 15 to 10 (10+15=25)

You now have 2x+25=3x

Now, do the same to combine the x values together

25=3x-2x

You now have 25=1x

Divide by 1 on both sides

25=x
