Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 6 = 16 (Based on similarity)
2x = 16 + 6
2x = 22
x = 22/2
x = 11
There is no common factor between 15, 17 and 18 because 17 is prime.
15z² +17z - 18 =
d = 17² - 4.15.-18
d = 289 + 1080
d = 1369
z = (-17 +/- \/1369) : 2 * 15
z = (-17 + 37) : 30
z' = 20 : 30 = 2/3
z" = (-17 - 37) : 30
z" = -54 : 30 = -1.8

So you want to find two numbers that add up to -13 and multiply to
40. You can find the factors of 40 and find the pair that adds up to
-13. -8 and -5 multiply to 40 and add up to -13.

You can use foil to test it
<span><span>x2</span>+<span>(−8x)</span>+<span>(−5x)</span>+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>
<span><span>x2</span>−13x+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+</span>
