Does anyone know how to do this?

According to the number line, what is the distance between points a and b? v ++ + + + + -16 -14 -12 -10 -8 + 6 + 4 + -2 + 0 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 o6 units o 7 units 12 units o 14 units

Hell . what are the solutions to `10x^2 - 38x - 8 = 0`? is this when i find the factors and use the numbers within the factors to determine the zeros? i hope that made sense lol

With number 11 ( show how you got the answer)
