Answer:
x = 3 . . . or . . . x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The factored form is ...
(x -3)(x -4) = 0
The zero product rule tells you the solutions are the values of x that make the factors be zero:
x = 3
x = 4

Comment on factoring
When the leading coefficient is 1, the coefficient of the x-term is the sum of the constants in the binomial factors, and the constant term is their product. You can see this by multiplying out the generic case:
(x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x + ab
What this means is that when you're factoring, you're looking for factors of the constant that add up to give the coefficient of the x-term. Here, the x-term is negative and the constant is positive, so both factors will be negative.
12 = -1×-12 = -2×-6 = -3×-4
The sums of these factor pairs are -13, -8, -7. Clearly, the last pair of factors of 12 will be useful to us, since that sum is -7. So, the binomial factors of our equation are ...
(x -3)(x -4) = 0
___
If the leading coefficient is not zero, the method of factoring is similar, but slightly different. Numerous videos and web sites discuss the method(s).
Answer: There is no clothing
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a sports store
A, 57%, because 0.40 divided by all possible outcomes, which is 0.70 because we know it will not be sunny tomorrow, is 0.57.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary, sum to 180° , so
3y + 108 = 180 ( subtract 108 from both sides )
3y = 72 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 24 → C
Answer:
The height of the pole is 105ft,
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us call 
the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is 
.
The wire length 
is 14 ft longer than height , hence
.
Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse 
, perpendicular , and base 
; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives
which upon expanding we get:
further simplification gives
,
which is a quadratic equation with solutions
Since the first solution 
will give the triangle base length of 
which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution 
.
Hence, the height of the pole is 105ft.
