2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0..divide by 2
x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
x^2 + 4x = 6...add 4 to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 6 + 4
(x + 2)^2 = 10....<== ur constant is 10
x + 2 = (+-)sqrt 10
x = -2 (+ - ) sqrt 10
x = -2 + sqrt 10
x = -2 - sqrt 10
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
7/3 and 14/3 inches
Discussion:
Let P1 = "Piece 1" and "P2 = Piece 2", Then P2 = 2 * P1 and
P1 + P2 = 7 => as P2 = 2 P1
P1 + 2P1 = 7 =>
3P1 = 7 => divide both sides by 7
P1 = 7/3
Then P2 = 2 P1 - 2* (7/3) = 14/3
Thank you,

Answer:
19/5
Step-by-step explanation:
None, the only correct answer is...
-2 > -12
... in negative integers, the smaller the magnitude the bigger it is.
