2x2 + 24x + 72 = 0 options: {−6} {−6,0} {−9,−6, 0} {−9,−4}

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^2 + 24 x + 72 = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

x^2 + 12 x + 36 = 0

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 6)^2 = 0

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 6 = 0

Subtract 6 from both sides:

 x = -6

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
