Answer:

x = - 3 or x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² - 4x + 6

If f(x) = 27, then equating gives

x² - 4x + 6 = 27 ( subtract 27 from both sides )

x² - 4x - 21 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 21) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( - 4)

The factors are - 7 and + 3, since

- 7 × 3 = - 21 and - 7 + 3 = - 4, hence

(x - 7)(x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

The difference between 5 times a number and 3 is 12
igor_vitrenko [27]
5x -3 = 12
5x -3 + 3 = 12 + 3 [Add 3 to each side]
5x + 0 = 15  [Evaluate]
5x/5 = 15/5 [Divide each side by 5]
1x = 3 [Evaluate]

The answer I get is the number 3.

Please help!!!<br> Which expression is equivalent to (3m^-1n^2)^4/(2m^-2n)^3
Elza [17]
\text{Use:}\\\\(a\cdot b)^n=a^nb^n\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{n\cdot m}\\\\\dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}

\dfrac{(3m^{-1}n^2)^4}{(2m^{-2}n)^3}=\dfrac{3^4(m^{-1})^4(n^2)^4}{2^3(m^{-2})^3n^3}=\dfrac{81m^{-4}n^8}{8m^{-6}n^3}\\\\=10.125m^{-4-(-6)}n^{8-3}=10.125m^2n^5
