X = y - 8
Step by step
Y = x + 8
x + 8 = y
-8 -8
x = y - 8
They are different equations lol. If you plug in the same x and y for both you wont get the same answer. Do you have answer choices?
- Zero Product Property: if a × b = 0, then either a or b = 0 or both a and b = 0.
(Make sure to set f(x) to zero)
So for this equation, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -5x^2 and a sum of 4x? That would be 5x and -x. Replace 4x with 5x - x: 
Next, factor 5x^2 + 5x and -x - 1 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as: 
Now apply zero product property to the factors to solve for x:

<u>The x-intercepts are (1/5 ,0) and (-1,0).</u>
The first blank is 69 degrees
The answer is; 24/75 of the entire cake remained
If 2/5 of the initial cake was eaten, the 3/5 is what remained
MInu ate 1/3 of the 3/5 = 3/15
3/5 – 3/15 = 6/15 remained
Her brother ate; 1/5 of 6/15 = 6/75
6/15 – 6/75 = 24/75 remained
