How can I solve this quadratic equation by factoring?

First set the equation equal to 0 by subtracting n from both sides.

That leaves us with 8n² - 11n = 0.

Since the GCF on the left is n, we can

factor it out to get n(8n - 11) = 0.

So either n = 0 or 8n - 11 = 0.

Solving for n in the second equation, we get n = 11/8.

So our solution is {0, 11/8}.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
