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

24

step-by-step explanation:

the graph shows 30% of students walk. 80 students were questioned, so the number that said they walk is

30% × 80 = 0.30 × 80 = 24

step-by-step explanation:

the triangles are similar. therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:

              cross multiply

            divide both sides by 32
