Answer:
-8 or -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x*2+9x+8=0
(x+8)(x+1)=0
x+8=0 or x+1=0
x= -8 or x= -1

Answer:
<h2>x = 5/2 , x = - 4/3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
6x² - 7x - 20 = 0
Using method of factorization
Rewrite - 7x as a difference
That's
6x² + 8x - 15x - 20 = 0
Factor the expression
That's
2x( 3x + 4) - 5( 3x + 4) = 0
Which is
(2x - 5) (3x + 4) = 0
2x - 5 = 0
2x = 5
Divide both sides by 2
x = 5/2
3x + 4 = 0
3x = - 4
Divide both sides by 3
x = -4/3
Hope this helps you
-6 / 2 = -3 so
x^2 - 6x + 8 is
(x - 3)^2 -9 + 8
= (x - 3)^2 - 1
the vertex is at (3,-1)
