Amanda is practing her dives off the diving board. When she dives into the water the path her body makes and where she resurfaces can be modeled by the equation 0=x^2-8x+7 where x is the number of horizontal feet she travels. Find the number of feet she will travel when she returns to the surface

I think there's missing information in your question. We can solve the quadratic equation for x as shown below. See what you can do with the values of x found.

0 = x^2-8x+7

0 = (x - 7)(x - 1)

x = 7

x = 1

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
