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

Can the sides of a triangle have length 1,3 and 5
Katen [24]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two smallest sides must be greater than the biggest side when added up in order to form a complete triangle.

1+3 is 4, which is less than five, so the triangle wouldn't be connected.

Essentially, imagine a triangle where one line is too short to reach the other two, which is what was just explained--the smallest sides must add up to be greater than the biggest side in order to form a complete triangle.
