Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2b+8-5b+3=-13+8b-5 (combine like terms)

-3b + 11 = -18+8b ( switch sides)

+3b +11 = +18 +8b ( bold switches to other side)

11+18=8b+3b

29 = 11b

(divide each by 11)

b=2.636

Let a = x2 + 4. Use a to find the solutions for the following equation:

Zepler [3.9K]

The solutions for x are -2, 0, 2

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

$\text { Let } a = x^2 + 4$

Given equation is:

$(x^2 + 4)^2 + 32 = 12x^2 + 48$

$(x^2 + 4)^2 + 32 = 12(x^2 + 4)$

$\text { Subtsitute } a = x^2 + 4 \text{ in above equation }$

$a^2 + 32 = 12a\\\\a^2 -12a + 32 = 0$

$\text{ Let us factorize the above equation }\\\\\text{ Splitting the middle term -12a as -4a - 8a we get, }$

$a^2 -4a - 8a + 32 = 0$

Taking "a" as common term from first two terms and taking "-8" as common from last two terms

$a(a-4)-8(a - 4) = 0$

$\text{Taking (a - 4) as common term, }\\\\(a - 4)(a - 8) = 0$

$\text{Equating to zero we get, }\\\\(a - 4) = 0 \text{ or } (a - 8) = 0\\\\a = 4 \text{ or } a = 8$

$\text{Now substitute the value of a = 8 and a = 4 in: }\\\\a = x^2 + 4$

$\text{ For a = 8: }\\\\a = x^2 + 4\\\\8 = x^2 + 4\\\\x^2 = 4\\\\x = \pm2\\\\x = +2 \text{ or } -2$

$\text{For a = 4: }\\\\a = x^2 + 4\\\\4 = x^2 + 4\\\\x = 0$

$\text{Thus solutions of } x \text{ are: }\\\\x = 0 \text{ or } x = 2 \text{ or } x = -2$
