Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
+ 6 = x ( subtract 6 from both sides )
= x - 6 ( square both sides )
x = (x - 6)² ← expand using FOIL
x = x² - 12x + 36 ( subtract x from both sides )
0 = x² - 13x + 36 , that is
x² - 13x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.
x = 4
left side = 
+ 6 = 2 + 6 = 8
right side = x = 4
Since 8 ≠ 4 then x = 4 is an extraneous solution
x = 9
left side = 
+ 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
right side = x = 9
Thus the solution is x = 9 → B
<u>Answer:</u>
x = -3/7
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given the following equation for which we have to solve for x:
So we will start by expanding the equation by multiplying the common factor with the brackets to get:
Arranging the like terms together (variables on one side of the equation and constants on the other side) to get:
Therefore, x = -3/7.
A = 5
b = 1
(2*5) + (3*1) =
10 + 3 =
13
Jessica is baking cookies for a bake sale and needed 3/4 cups of flower in the original recipe. Jessica's mom later found out that there wouldn't be as many guests so Jessica cut the recipe in half and needs half of the original amount of flour. Jessica now needs 3/8 cups of flour.
