Hello!
----------
The answer is -x^2-2x-3.
----------
Have a great day!
X is the Scale factor so 18/6=X
X=3
Another way to check. the work is 6 x 3 = 18
Hope this Helped. :)
1 1/6 = 7/5
2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/2 = 3/2
This is what I got hope I'm correct.
Factor the equation. Remember the value should add to the b value and multiply to the c value.
x^2-x-12= 0
(x-4)(x+3)=0
Use the zero product property to find roots
x-4=0
x=4
x+3=0
x=-3
Final answer: x=-3, x=4
