Please, share just ONE problem at a time. Thanks.
<span>Solve 2x^2-12x+20=0:
Simplify this by dividing each term by 2: x^2 - 6x + 10 = 0
Identify a, b and c: a=1, b=-6 and c=10. Then b^2=36.
Write out the solutions using the quadratic formula:
6 plus or minus sqrt(36-40)
x = ---------------------------------------
2
sqrt(36-40) = sqrt(-4) = plus or minus i2
Then:
6 plus or minus i2
x = --------------------------- (answer)

The first answer of part A is 32
So 4y means you have to multiply 4 by y, which is 20 since 4x5=20
And then you add 12, which is 32.
The second answer to part A is 40
With the second question of part a, the expression is basically saying 4 times whatever 5+3 is. So 5+3= 8, and 4(8) is 40
For part B, they are equivalent because let’s pretend y=2. 12+4y= 20. And then 4(y+3) would equal 20 because 4(2)=8 and 4(3)=12 and 8+12=20. This might not be the answer that your teacher is looking for, but it’s still a right answer so technically they can’t say it’s wrong unless you have a super unfair teacher
Dividing (3x^2-2x) by x gives out 3x-2
14/16 or anything like that
I think the x represent puppy and the weight is the y
