Perhaps the most concise way to factor is by "completing the square" which is how the quadratic formula is derived...
x^2+6x+8=0 move constant to other side, subtract 8 from both sides
x^2+6x=-8, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add that to both sides, in this case (6/2)^2=3^2=9
x^2+6x+9=1 now the left side is a perfect square of the form
(x+3)^2=1 take the square root of both sides
x+3=±√1 subtract 3 from both sides
x=-3±√1
x=-3±1
x=-4 and -2
Since the zeros occur when x=-4 and -2 the factors of the equation are:
(x+2)(x+4)
The price in dollars per gallon is 4.02 dollars per gallons.
<h3>How to find the price of gasoline in dollars per gallon?</h3>
Gasoline costs 1.05 euro per litre in France.
The first thing to do is to determine the equivalent amount of the same litre in dollar while in France.
Then, equate it the quantity of litres to gallons.
Hence,
1 euro = 1.01 dollars
1.05 euro = ?
cross multiply
price = 1.05 × 1.01
price = 1.0605 dollars
1 litres = 0.264172 gallons
Therefore,
cost = 1.0605 / 0.264172
cost = 4.01552442257 dollars per gallons
cost = 4.02 dollars per gallons
Therefore, the price in dollars per gallon is 4.02 dollars per gallons.

Answer:
Alright well the exact form to this question is
Exact form: 27/49 Well hope this helps have a nice day :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Area=lw
l=2w
aera=2l^2
72=area
72=2l^2
divide both sides by 2
36=l^2
sqrt both sides
6=l
length=6 units
