Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
It is the only one that makes sense
I will get you started.
x^2+4x-4 = 8
x^2 + 4x - 4 - 8 = 0
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0
You must now use the quadratic formula.
In the formula, a = 1, b = 4, and c = -12.
Take it from here.
(x - 3) + (x - 6) + x = 63
x - 3 + x - 6 + x = 63
Combine like terms
3x - 9 = 63
Isolate the constant
3x - 9 + 9 = 63 + 9
3x = 72
Isolate the viable
3x / 3 = 72 / 3
x = 24
