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.

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing <br> y=1/3x+5<br> y=2/3x+5<br> What is the solution
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

We have the system of equations:

y=1/3x+5

y=2/3x+5

To solve it graphically, we need to graph both lines and see in which point the lines intersect.

You can see the graph below, and you can see that the lines intersect in the point (0, 5)

Now, we can also solve this analytically.

We can use the fact that for the solution, we need y = y.

Then we can write:

(1/3)*x + 5 = (2/3)*x + 5

First, we can subtract 5 in both equations to get:

(1/3)*x = (2/3)*x

This only has a solution when x = 0.

Replacing x = 0 in one of the equations, we get:

y = (1/3)*0 + 5 = 5

Then the solution is x = 0, and y = 5, as we already could see in the graph.

A man has a 10m X 10m square garden. In the center is a 2m X 2m square patch which he cannot use. He divides his usable space in
ra1l [238]

Answer:

4m X 6m

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if there is a 2m square in the middle, there is 8 m of usable space left along both sides of the garden.

Because the 2m square was in the middle, there is 8/2 = 4m along each width of the 4 small rectangles.

Becuase 4m is the width, there is 10 - 4 = 6m along each rectangle's length.
