I can barely see the number , too help you out
Simplifying
2x2 + 6x + 4 = 24
Reorder the terms:
4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24
Solving
4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24
Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms:
4 + -24 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24
Combine like terms: 4 + -24 = -20
-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24
Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 0
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-10 + 3x + x2) = 0
Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(2 + -1x)) = 0
Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0
Solving
-5 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 5
-1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-1x = 5
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5
Simplifying
x = -5
It's 12 because if you divide 6 by 0.5 you should get 12, so basically use the opposite operation.
Hope that helps!
