Question #70db6

Answer 1

x=-6 and x=-8

Explanation:

`x^2-8x+12` can be factored:

First, find two numbers that add to `-8` and multiply to `12`:
`-6` and `-2`

We can rewrite the equation in factored form now, but we do not need to

Now we must do the same for the other, `x^2-10x+16`:
`-2` and `-8`

The equations share the root `x+2`, which leaves us with
`x+6` and `x+8`
