The trick here is to notice that all 3 terms can be div. by 2:
2(x^2 + x - 12)
Note that -12 factors into -3 * 4 or -4 * 3. Thus,
x^2 + x - 12 = (x-4)(x+3), and so <span>2x2 + 2x − 24 = 2(x-4)(x+3).</span>
First can you change
2x + y = -12
To have y as the subject
Looks like y = ???
Answer:
x=60
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you meant this: (x/5)-8=4
In which case you would add 8 to both sides to get rid of the 8 on the left (your goal is to get x by itself so you want to move the numbers on the x side to the other side of the equal sign)
(x/5)=12
Then you would multiply 5 on both sides to get rid of the fraction with the 5 on the bottom on the left side.
x=60
There's your answer.
Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
They are not because the left side is 52, while the right side is 0.
