Answer:

The solution of the equations are -6 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- We want to find the solution of the equation (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12

- <em>At first lets use the Foil method to multiply the two brackets</em>

 (x + 2) (x + 3) = (x)(x) + (x)(3) + (2)(x) + (2)(3)

 (x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 ⇒ add the like term

 (x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6

∵ (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12

∴ x² + 5x + 6 = 12

- Subtract 12 from both sides

∴ x² + 5x - 6 = 0

- <em>Factorize the left hand side</em>

∵ x² = (x)(x)

∵ -6 = 6 × -1

∵ 6x + -1x = 5x

∴ (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0

- <em>Lets use the zero product property </em>

∵ (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0

∴ x + 6 = 0 ⇒ <em>OR</em> ⇒ x - 1 = 0

∵ x + 6 = 0

- Subtract 6 from both sides

∴ x = -6

∵ x - 1 = 0

- Add 1 to both sides

∴ x = 1

∴ The solution of the equations are -6 and 1

(15 point) Solve for 14 and 16! The answer could be 58, 11, or 15 for either one. If u get something different let me know.
aksik [14]

Answer:

14. 58 degrees

16. 11 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

14. The sum of all 3 interior angles of a triangle is 180. We know right angles are 90 degrees. So 180 - 90 - 32 = 58 degrees

16. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles have the same measure. So the angle above angle a has the same measure as the 169 degree angle in the same position on the other line. I hope those words make sense. Then angle a and the angle above it (which we know = 169 degrees) combine to make a straight line/straight angle, which = 180 degrees. 180- 169 = 11

Please let me know if you have questions.
