inessss [21]

Answer:

x = 8 or x = -1 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 21x -24

divide with 3

x² - 7x - 8

Factorizing,

x² + x - 8x - 8

x(x + 1) -8 (x + 1)

(x - 8) (x + 1)

x = 8,-1

Solve the equation<br> 7+3m=28<br> A)m=18<br> B)m=11 2/3<br> C)m=9<br> D)m=7
Shtirlitz [24]
Firstly, you would subtract 7 from both sides, leaving you with 3m=21. You would then divide by three in order to be left with total value of m. 3m divided by 3 is m. 21 divided by 3 is 7. Therefore m=7 :)
