What are the solutions of the equation (x - 6) (x - 8) =8

x=4  x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 6) (x - 8) =8

We need to multiply out the left side

x^2 -8x -6x+48 = 8

x^2 -14x +48 = 8

Subtract 8 from each side

x^2 -14x +48-8 = 8-8

x^2 -14x+40 =0

We need to factor the left side.  What two numbers multiply to give 40 and add to give -14

-4*-10 = 40

-4+-10 = -14

(x-4) (x-10) =0

Using the zero product property

x-4=0  x-10 =0

x=4  x=10

18

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
