What is the factor of this problem?
~plz help I cannot get this wrong !

(x-3)(x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-5)(x-6) FOIL this

F- x times x=x squared

O- x times -8=-8x

I- x times -3=-3x

L- -8 times -3= 24

x squared + (-8x)+(-3x)+24

x squared + -11x +24

x squared -11x +24

There you go! Hope this helps!

the barter

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
