8x - 6 - 12x^2 + 9x

2(4x-3)-3x(3x-3)

=> (2-3x)(3x-3)

=> 3(x-1)(2-3x)

Order from highest power to lowest
-12x^2+9x+8x-6
group
(-12x^2+9x)+(8x-6)
factor
(-3x)(4x-3)+(2)(4x-3)
undistribute
(-3x+2)(4x-3)

(4x-3)(2-3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

y inversely as x

x=k/y

By cross multiplication

k=xy

k=12*6

k=72

finding y

14+5x= 3(-x+3)-11 Find x

Lelu [443]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$14+5x=3\left(-x+3\right)-11$

$3\left(-x+3\right)-11$ ← ( Expand)

$14+5x=-3x-2$

$14+5x-14=-3x-2-14$ ← ( Subtract 14 from both sides)

$5x=-3x-16$

$5x+3x=-3x-16+3x$

$8x=-16$

$\cfrac{8x}{8}=\cfrac{-16}{8}$ ← ( Divide both sides by 8)

$x=-2$
