Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

7x = x² - 8

=> x² - 7x - 8 = 0

use quadratic formula:

a = 1, b = -7, c = -8

x = [tex]\frac{-(1)±\sqrt{(-7)^{2} - 4(1)(-8) } }{2(1)}[/tex] (pls ignore the "A" I don't know why it's showing up)

=> x = [tex]\frac{-1±\sqrt{49 + 32} }{2}[/tex]

=> x = [tex]\frac{-1±9 }{2}[/tex]

=> x = [tex]\frac{-1 +9}{2}[/tex] = 4 or [tex]\frac{-1-9}{2}[/tex] = -5 (the answer is only 4 since it's asking for the positive solution)
