Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because one of the solution is x=-2 it means that we have something like this (x + 2)*(some statement here), if we divide above mentioned statement to (x + 2) we will get x - 12, so initial multiplication is (x + 2)(x - 12) which leads to another answer x = 12

Answer:

The other solution is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Break the solution into groups: (x^2+2x)+(-12x-24)

Factor out the x^2 from the first group to get x(x+2)

Factor out the -12 out of the second group to get -12(x-12)

Here we get (x-12)(x+2)

You can see solutions are -2 and 12.

the denominator of a fraction is 3 less than the numerator. If 5 is added to the numerator and denominator, the result is 5/6. F

X=numerator
y=denominator
the sum of numerator and denominator=x+y
we suggest this system of equations:

y=x-3
(x+5) / (y+5)=5/6

we solve this system of equation by substitution method.
(x+5) / (x-3+5)=5/6
(x+5) / (x+2)=5/6
6(x+5)=5(x+2)
6x+30=5x+10
6x-5x=10-30
x=-20

y=x-3=-20-3=-23

Teh sum of the numerator an denominator=-20+(-23)=-43

Answer: -43
