Answer: x = 7 or x = -8
x² + x - 56 = 0
⇔ x² + 8x - 7x - 56 = 0
⇔ x(x + 8) - 7(x + 8) = 0
⇔ (x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
⇔ x - 7 = 0
or x + 8 = 0
⇔ x = 7 or x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When we divide x by 9 there is some whole number we will call y plus a remainder of 4
x/9 = y remainder 4
Writing this in fraction form
x/9 = y + 4/9
Multiplying each side by 9
9*x/9 = 9* y + 4/9 *9
x = 9y +4
Multiply each side by 2
2x = 2*(9y+4)
2x = 18y +8
Add 3 to each side
2x+3 = 18y +8+3
2x+3 = 18y +11
Divide each side by 9
(2x+3)/9 = 18y/9 +11/9
= 2y + 9/9 +2/9
=(2y+1 + 2/9)
We know y is a whole number and 1 is a whole number so we can ignore 2y +1 when looking for a remainder)
2/9 is a fraction
Taking this back from fraction form to remainder from
(2y+1) remainder 2
