Answer:
x = 4 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9 ← expand the left side using FOIL
x² - 8x - 48 = 9 ( ad 48 to both sides )
x² - 8x = 57
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 57 + 16
(x - 4)² = 73 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 4 = ± ( add 4 to both sides )
x = 4 ±

Answer:
12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x-12> 8x + 21
+12 +12
-3x > 8x + 33
-8x -8x
-11x > 33

x < -3
I moved the real numbers to one side and and the variable to the other side to solve for the inequality
I also remembered somewhere that if you divide by a negative number the inequality sign switches.
1/2 dozen pencils in 1/3 box
what about 1 dozen
we cross miltiply this to get
1/3*2=2/3
doing the same for all the questions we get
1/4*5/4=5/20
3/4*5/3=15/12
3/10*12/7=18/35
