x +12 -sqrt(x) = 42

-sqrt(x) = -x+30

-sqrt(x)^2 = (-x+30)^2

x^2 - 61x + 900 = 0

(x-36) (x-25) = 0

x = 36

36+12 = 48 - sqrt(36) = 48-6 = 42

X = 36

Answer:

$x^2 + x -12$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the solutions are x=-4 and x=3, then it must have factors (x+4)(x-3). Assuming there is no GCF or leading coefficient other than 1, multiply with FOIL to find the standard form.

$(x+4)(x-3)\\x^2 + 4x -3x -12\\x^2 + x -12$

I need help I can't figure out how to do this. I have to find the value of v. 4/5(v−7)=2

9.5 because 9.5-7 is 2.5. 2.5 times 4/5 is 10/5 which is equivalent to 2. 4/5(2.5-7)=2
