Given M(-3,-1), N(-9,2), O(-6, -3),
and P(x, -1). Find X such that MN || OP.

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*

Idon't know and i'm a teacher

Remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sidesminus 36 from both sides4.5(8-x)=66-2.5(3x+24)distribute36-4.5x=66-7.5x-60add like terms36-4.5x=-7.5x+6add 7.5x to both sides36+3x=6minus 36 from both sides3x=-30divide both sides by 3x=-10
