Percy solved the equation by expanding the expression on the left-hand side, and this is incorrect

<h3>How to determine the true solution?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x^2 + 7x + 12 = 12

The first step in solving the equation is to equate the equation to 0.

i.e.

x^2 + 7x + 12 - 12 = 0

This given

x^2 + 7x = 0

From the question, Percy solved the equation by expanding the expression on the left-hand side

Hence, Percy's solution is incorrect

Answer: 11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rect. = 24

area of circle (half circle+half circle = full circle) = pi*r^2 = pi*(2*2) = pi*4 = about 12.57

2 = radius since 4 = diameter

24-12.57 = 11.43

round = 11.4

How can I explain how to make a 3.5 into a fraction for Mt 10yr old?
stealth61 [152]
The number on the left side of the decimal, write it as a large, in this case, three. The number on the right side of the decimal, write as a small number. Then put a ten under the five, and divide the two with a line. A way to remember this is - Imagine you have 3 cookies. The .5 represents a half of a cookie. You need to have all ten parts of the cookie to make a whole cookie. You'd need 5 more pieces of cookie to make 4 cookies. Hope this helps.
