How can I solve this quadratic equation by factoring?

First set the equation equal to 0 by subtracting n from both sides.

That leaves us with 8n² - 11n = 0.

Since the GCF on the left is n, we can

factor it out to get n(8n - 11) = 0.

So either n = 0 or 8n - 11 = 0.

Solving for n in the second equation, we get n = 11/8.

So our solution is {0, 11/8}.

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
