Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis

x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60

Combine like terms

x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60

Subtract 60 from both sides

x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0

Factor the equation

(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0

x= -12 and -4

zaharov [31]

Answer: $2,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The assessment value of Jerome's home= $$112,000$

Solve the system using substitution m=4n+11 -6n+8m=36

olchik [2.2K]

M=4n+11
-6n+8m=36

-6n + 8(4n+11) = 36
-6n + 32n + 88 = 36
26n = 36 - 88
26n = -52
n = -2

m = 4n+11 = 4(-2) + 11 = 3

Samples of rejuvenated mitochondria are mutated (defective) in 3% of cases. Suppose 15 samples are studied, and they can be cons

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

C) At most one sample is mutated

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 15 samples, it means that 15 is the total (100%) of samples. Then, if we know that there is a chance that 3% are mutated, then we calculate the 3% of 15:

$Mutated= \frac{3. 15}{100} = 0.45$

This means that at most one sample is mutated, as this result is not zero (we discard answer A), and 0.45 is not more than half of the samples.
