Question

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below 3x^2+27x+54=0

Answer 1

Answer:x=6

Step-by-step explanation:Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 18 = 18

Step-2 : Find two factors of 18 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .

-18 + -1 = -19

-9 + -2 = -11

-6 + -3 = -9 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and -3

x2 - 6x - 3x - 18

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

x • (x-6)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

3 • (x-6)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(x-3) • (x-6)

Which is the desired factorization
