0=(x-8) (3x-5) show all work

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = (x - 8)(3x - 5)

(x - 8)(3x - 5) = 0

x(3x - 5) - 8(3x - 5) = 0

3x² - 5x - 8(3x - 5) = 0

3x² - 5x - 24x + 40 = 0

3x² - 29x + 40 = 0

Ignore the A before the ±. It wouldn't let me type it correctly.

3x² - 29x + 40 = 0

a = 3

b = - 29

c = 40

Two separate equations

x = 8

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)
