Question

20. PLEASE HELP ME

Solve the equation using the zero-product property.

(x-8)(5x-6)=0

A. x = 8 or x = -1 1/5

B. x = –8 or x = 1 1/5

C. x = –1 or x = 5

D. x = 8 or x = 1 1/5

Answer 1

b) X =8 of X =11/5 is your answer

Answer 2

D. x = 8 or x = 1 1/5

Explanation:

x = 8 6/5

x = 8 1/5

zero-product property says to equate each factors to 0 .

so the factors in (x − 8)(5x − 6) = 0

are (x-8) and (5x-6)

hence equating them to 0

x-8 =0 or 5x-6 =0

x=8 or 5x=6

x=8 or x=6/5

x=8 or x= 1 and 1/5
