I'm still working on algebra...and need more help....?

Question

Thank you so much to the person who helped me with my last question. I appriciate it so much. I need help with another math problem. it says: solve. x^2+2x-40>8

I have no idea where to start...

Answer 1

what is that second symble?

Answer 2

x^2+2x-40>8

x^2 + 2x - 48 > 0              subtract 8 from each side

(x + 8)*(x - 6) > 0

In order to satisfy the inequality x > 6 and x < -8
