Question

Find the value of X
(5x+4)°+(8x-71)°

Answer 1

x = -4/5

Explanation:

Solve for x:

(5 x + 4) (8 x - 71) = 0

Split into two equations:

5 x + 4 = 0 or 8 x - 71 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides:

5 x = -4 or 8 x - 71 = 0

Divide both sides by 5:

x = -4/5 or 8 x - 71 = 0

Add 71 to both sides:

x = -4/5 or 8 x = 71

Divide both sides by 8:

Answer: x = -4/5 or x = 71/8
