Solve the following equation. (
x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
x = 1 (smaller value)
x = 2 (larger value)
Your answers don't work, did you not sub in your answer?
x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
(x+7)(x+1) = 0
x = -7 or x = -1
x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
x = 1 (smaller value)
x = 2 (larger value)
x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
(x+7)(x+1) = 0
x = -7 or x = -1
