Answer:

Multiply the first bracket by 3

Multiply the second bracket by -2

3x+3=-2x+2-4

3x+2x+3=-2x-2   negative (-) number and positive number (+)= negative number

Just rearranging

5x+3=-2

5x+3-3=-2-3

5x=-5

Dividing by 5

5x/5=-5/5

x=-1

Check answer by using substitution method

3(-1+1)=-2(-1-1)-4

0=-2(-2)-4 negative number and negative number = positive number

0=4-4

0=0

Answer is x=-1

6x^2+9x+3 factor trinomial
qwelly [4]

Answer:

(x+1) ( x+(1/2))

Step-by-step explanation:

6x² +9x +3  , divide all terms by 6 to have the first term with coefficient 1

x² + (9/6)x + (3/6) , simplify the fractions

x² + (3/2)x + (1/2)

To get x² the first term we should have

(x.....)(x.....)

To get the last term (1/2) we should have

(x...1)(x...(1/2))

To get the middle term (3/2)x we should have

+1*x +(1/2)  x = (2/2)x +(1/2)x = (3/2)x

(x+1) ( x+(1/2))

  • 4f = 120
  • f = 120/4
  • f = 30

<u>Find s:</u>
