Answer:

x = -1.4, -7/5, or -1 2/5 (all same answer, just in different forms)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides.

  • 5x-1+1=-8+1
  • 5x=-7

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

  • 5x/5=-7/5
  • x = -1.4, -7/5, or -1 2/5.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

Answer:

D) x = -2/3 and x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x²−x+2)−(x+10)(x+2)           Distribute

(4)(x²) + (4)(−x) + (4)(2) + − x² + −12x + −20    Multiply

4x² + −4x + 8 + −x² + −12x + −20           Combine like terms            

(4x² + −x²) + (−4x + −12x) + (8 + −20)      Combine like terms

3x² −16x −12 = 0      

x = -2/3 and x = 6

I graphed the equation on the graph below.
