(x-5)(x+4) is the factored version of this trinomial so if either of those values in the parenthesis are in the answer bank, choose those.
Move the constant to the right by adding it’s opposite to both sides
x+2-2= 7 squared - 2
Next remove the opposites
x= 7 squared -2 is your answer
Here's how to find the value of x:
<span>9 - 0.75 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5 find the difference of 9 - 0.75
</span><span>8.25 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5 add 5 to both sides
</span>
8.25 ( x + 8 ) = -1.5 distribute 8.25 to x and 8
8.25x + 66 = -1.5 subtract 66 from both sides
8.25x = -67.5 divide both sides by 8.25
x = 18.18181818...... the value of x is 18 2/11
