Answer:

6 and -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 ab

42 = 1/2 (x)(x+8)

42 *2 = x(x+8)

84 = x²+8x

x²+8x-84 = 0

x²+14x-6x-84 = 0

x(x+14)-6(x+14) = 0

x-6 = 0 and x+14 = 0

x = 6 and -14

Hence the values of x are 6 and -14

11. Write the equation in slope intercept form that has a slope of -23 and passes through the point (-1, 2).
insens350 [35]
11. y = -23x - 21

You can get this by starting with y = mx + b (slope intercept form). Then put in all the knowns and solve for the b. 

2 = -23(-1) + b
2 = 23 + b
-21 = b

Then add that to the end of the equation with m = -23

12. -5

The y-intercept of an equation is always the number added on at the end of an equation. It is also the number with no x attached to it. 

13. 8x^9y^6

When you use the law of exponents, you need to make sure the exponent goes to each individual term. When we cube the 2, it becomes 8. When you cube x^3, you get x^3*x^3*x^3 or x^9. And with y^2 you get y^6
