40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):
Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):
40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
8x 8x
5 + x = 0 produces the root x = - 5.
Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.
Be certain to check these results. substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false? Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false?
Answer:
Look below
Step-by-step explanation:
Pls, choose me as brainliest!
Let AM be the distance between point A and the right wall and AN be the distance between A and the left wall.
Δ AMB is an isosceles right triangle and Δ ANC is half of an equilateral triangle.
Length of AM = 30 m. Length of AN = 1/2 · 80 = 40 m.
The distance between the walls is:
30 m + 40 m = 70 m.
