The solutions for the given quadratic equation are x = -1 and x = 3. So, option B is correct.
<h3>What are the solutions to an equation?</h3>
- The solutions to an equation are the one that satisfies the equation and makes it true.
- There are different methods to solve an equation and find its solutions.
- These solutions are also called zeros or roots of the equation.
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
The given equation is 4x² - 8x - 12 = 0
Since it is a quadratic equation, it has 2 roots or solutions.
On factorizing the given equation,
4x² - 8x - 12 = 0
⇒ 4x² - 12x + 4x -12 = 0
⇒ 4x(x - 3) + 4(x - 3) = 0
⇒ (4x + 4)(x - 3) = 0
According to the zero-product rule,
4x + 4 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
So, x = -4/4 = -1 or x = 3
Therefore, the solutions of the given equation are -1 and 3.
So, option B) x = -1 and x = 3 is correct.

So I think maybe the example for the first problem created some confusion, and you may want to have your child take another look.
If we numbered the top half 1 to 9 going from left to right, numbers 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 are right. They worked because the top number (numerator) perfectly fit into the bottom number (denominator). This is not true for the rest.
The key is to find the largest number that you can think of that will go into BOTH the top and the bottom evenly.
So for number 3: 18/24; 18 does not fit evenly into 24. The highest number that will fit into both is 6, so you divide both top and bottom by 6 and your answer is 3/4.
Number 4: 45/54; the highest number that goes into both is 9, so you divide both top and bottom by 9 and your answer is 5/6.
Number 5: 55/66; the highest number that can go into both is 11, so the answer is 5/6.
Is this making sense?
The bottom, numbering 1 to 9 from left to right. The correct ones are 1, 6 and 9.
For 2: 14/41 is about 15/40. Both can be divided by 5, so the answer is 3/8.
For 3: 20/81 is about 20/80, and 2/8 is close, but can still be divided by 2, so the answer is 1/4.
For 4: 24/49 is closer to 25/50 than 20/50. 25/50 can be divided by 25, so the answer is 1/2.
For 5: it was all correct, but the answer can be further reduced from 2/8 to 1/4.
For 7: 23/72 is about 25/75, and 25 goes into both, so it reduces to 1/3.
For 8: 13/21 is about 15/20, and 5 goes into both, so the answer is 3/4.
As your child continues to learn this, remember that if he or she gets an answer like 2/6 or 6/12, they should ask themselves if they can further reduce the fractions- 2/6 reduces to 1/3, and 6/12reduces to 1/2. I know it's confusing, but they do get the hang of it with practice
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Values of x that make it true
First: solve the inequality.
Collect Like Terms
Multiply both sides by -1
--- The inequality changes when multiplied by a negative value
So, the solution implies that the value of x is greater than 5 (i.e. 6, 7, 8..)
Hence, the set is:
Hey there!
For all this, we'll start with defining any variable as "a number", as we're using words.
a) Three less than the product of five and a number.
b) Two times the sum of x and y.
c) Three subtracted from the sum of a number and five.
Hopefully this helps!
