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

Why is the answer B? Plz explain.
Ivanshal [37]

Step One

Develop a formula for the perimeter.


Argument

What you see is a semicircle going upwards and another one going downwards. Two semicircles =1 circle.


The "perimeter" [Circumfrence] of a whole circle = 2*pi*r


We are told that whatever you call this the perimeter is 8pi + 16


Step Two

Set up the equation

8pi + 16 = 2*pi*r + 4r Including the line connecting these two.


Step Three

Take out the common factors on the left and right.


8(pi + 2) = 2r(pi + 2) Divide both sides by pi + 2

8 = 2r Divide by 2

4 = r


Sorry. I didn't know the meaning of perimeter. Mathmate is perfectly correct.
