2x^2+15x=8
factor or solve as indicated, show all work.
please and thank u!

 x= -8  or x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 15x = 8      Subtract 8 from both sides to let the whole equation equal 0

            - 8     -8

2x^2 + 15x - 8 = 0      Now find two numbers that if you multiply them, their product will be -16 and their sum will be 15. An example is the numbers 16 and -1.     16 times -1 is -16  and 16 plus -1 is 15.

Rewrite the whole equation in this form,

2x^2 +16x - 1x - 8 = 0      Factor on the left side

2x ( x + 8)  -1 (x + 8) = 0     Now factor out x + 8

(x + 8) (2x -1) = 0            Set each expression equal zero, because for the whole expression to equation to 0, either one of them or all of them have to equation zero.

x + 8 = 0        or   2x - 1 = 0  

  -8     -8                     +1  +1

   x = - 8                  2x  = 1

                                 x = 1/2

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

hope this
