Question

Which numbers are solutions of h2 + 4 = 8h – 3? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. Question 1 options: 1 3 5 7

Answer 1

h = 7, 1

Explanation:

h² + 4 = 8h - 3

move all the values to one side:

h² - 8h + 7 = 0

factor the equation:

(h - 7)(h - 1) = 0

use the zero product property to solve for h:

h - 7 = 0 h - 1 = 0

h = 7, 1
