The answer is x=4.
set the equations up: 8x-5=6x-3
Subtract 6x from one side and then the other side 2x-5=3
Add 5 from one side and then the other 2x=8
Divide 2 on each side which gets you x=4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming there is a punitive removal of one point for an incorrect response.
Five undiscernable choices: 20% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.20*(1) + 0.80*(-1) = -0.60
Four undiscernable choices: 25% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.25*(1) + 0.75*(-1) = -0.50
I'll use 0.33 as an approzimation for 1/3
Three undiscernable choices: 33% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.33*(1) + 0.67*(-1) = -0.33 <== The approximation is a little ugly.
Two undiscernable choices: 50% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.50*(1) + 0.50*(-1) = 0.00
And thus we see that only if you can remove three is guessing neutral. There is no time when guessing is advantageous.
One Correct Answer: 100% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 1.00*(1) + 0.00*(-1) = 1.00

Step-by-step explanation:
It seems right, so hopefully it is.
<span>To do that, you need to set it all to zero and factor:
x^2+8x+15 = 0
(x+5)(x+3) = 0
then put both those in parentheses chunks in their own equations
x + 5 = 0
x + 3 = 0
and then simplify
x = -5
x = -3
So the two points where the parabola crosses the x-axis are -5 and -3.</span>
