Simplify. x-2/(x^2+4x-12)

In order to solve this you need to factor the denominator. 
x^2 +4x - 12
I see that 12 is a product of 6 and 2 and 4 and 3 and 1 and 12.
I pick the two products that, when added together, give me the 4x term.
Here it's 6 and two I just need to make one of them a negative.
now put them in this form:
(x + 6)(x-2) 
In the fraction I see that there is an x-2 in the numerator. This can cancel out with the x-2 in the denominator. Now you have 1/x-6 but remember you can never have a zero in the denominator so x can't equal -6. 
And you're done!

Avery and Caden have saved $27,000 towards a down payment on a house. They want to keep some of the money in a bank account that
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

They should put $6750 in the bank account and $20,250 in the stock fund.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information that Avery and Caden have saved $27000.

Let <em>x</em> is the money deposit in the bank and <em>y</em> is the money deposit in stock fund.

Therefore,

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 27000

<em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em>

The bank account will pay 2.4% annual interest.

\frac{2.4}{100}x+x=1.024x

Stock fund pays 7.2% annual interest.

\frac{7.2}{100}y+y=1.072y

Therefore,

1.024 <em>x</em> + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 1.06 × 27000

Substitute the <em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em> in above equation.

1.024 (27000 − <em>y</em>) + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 1.06 × 27000

27648 − 1.024 <em>y</em> + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 28620

0.048 <em>y</em> = 28620-27648

0.048 <em>y</em> = 972

<em>y</em> = 20250

Now, substitute the <em>y</em> = 20250 in <em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em>.

<em>x</em> = 27000 − 20250

<em>x</em> = 6750

Hence, they should put $6750 in the bank account and $20,250 in the stock fund.
