<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>
What are you trying to find
In this question , to find the total surface area , we have to find the area of all faces and add them .
And here the base is a hexagon. THe formula of area of hexagon is

And in the given diagram, side length , a=4cm , so area is

Now we need to find the area of triangle.
We have 6 triangular faces. And for area of triangle, we need the slant edge, and for that we use pythagorean formula

Now we use the formula of area of triangle which is half times the product of base times height. And since there are 6 triangles, so we have to multiply by 6 too.

So total surface area is

X is greater or equal to 0

Answer:
-24.87
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
d−23.7=−48.57
Step 2: Add 23.7 to both sides
d−23.7+23.7=−48.57+23.7
d=-24.87
