Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Please:  Use "^" to denote exponentiation:  <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2:             </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6.  Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

</span> x^2 + 4x +4  - 4 - 6 = 0.  Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10.  Take the sqrt of both sides:   x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x:  x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).

Translate this sentence into an equation.
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The product of Victor's age and 7 is 84 in equation form is 7v=84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the  Victor's age.

We are supposed to Translate this sentence into an equation

The product of Victor's age and 7 is 84

Victor's age = v

Product of victor's age and 7 =7 \times v

We are given that their product is 84

So,7 \times v =84

Hence The product of Victor's age and 7 is 84 in equation form is 7v=84

Twice the sum of a number and 3 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7. Find the number
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The number is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us change the word statement to an algebraic equation

→ Assume that the number is x

→ Twice the sum of a number and 3, means add x by 3, then multiply the sum by 2

→ The algebraic expression is 2(x + 3)

→ Three times the difference of the number and 7, means subtract x and 7, then multiply the difference by 3

→ The algebraic expression is 3(x - 7)

→ Equate the two expressions

∴ 2(x + 3) = 3(x - 7)

→ Simplify each side

∵ 2(x + 3) = 2(x) + 2(3) = 2x + 6

∵ 3(x - 7) = 3(x) - 3(7) = 3x - 21

∴ 2x + 6 = 3x - 21

Let us solve the equation to find x

→ Subtract 6 from both sides

∴ 2x + 6 - 6 = 3x -21 - 6

∴ 2x = 3x - 21

→ Subtract 3x from both sides

∴ 2x - 3x = 3x - 3x - 27

∴ -x = -27

→ Divide both sides by -1

∴ x = 27

The number is 27
