X² - 4x - 77 = 0
( x + 7) ( x - 11)
x + 7 = 0
x - 11 = 0
x = -7
x = 11
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
What you are trying to do is isolate the variable x. For you to do that you have to first simplify the left side of the equation and then you solve for x.
Answer:
The answer is 180
Step-by-step explanation:
So to start off you have to turn 20% into a decimal and that is .20.
Next you need to mutiply 225 and .20 and you will get 45 (that means it is $45 off)
Subtract 45 fro 225 and that is your answer.
You now pay $180 for the 20 foot extension ladder.
Your LCM is 11880 , and your HCF is 36
C. y - 3 = 2/3(x-3)
Nothing much to do here except examine each equation and plug in the numbers to see if it's true.
a. y + 3 = 3/2(x+3)
Try 3,3
3 + 3 = 3/2(3+3)
6 = 3/2(6). And no need to go further, it's obviously not equal.
b. y - 3 = 3/2(x-3)
Try 3,3
3 - 3 = 3/2(3-3)
0 = 3/2(0). OK. Let's try 6,5
5 - 3 = 3/2(6-3)
2 = 3/2(3)
2 = 9/2 And it's not true, so check the next one.
c. y - 3 = 2/3(x-3)
Try 3,3
3 - 3 = 2/3(3-3)
0 = 0. Check 6,5
5 - 3 = 2/3(6-3)
2 = 2/3(3)
2 = 2. Good. Both sample points work. This is the correct answer.
Just to be sure, let's check the next option
d. y + 3 = 2/3(x+3)
Try 3,3
3 + 3 = 2/3(3+3)
6 = 2/3(6). And doesn't match.
