(x)(3x - 5) = 12
3x^2 - 5x = 12
3x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(x - 3)(3x + 4) = 0
x = 3, -4/3
The answer must be negative so the number is -4/3.

Hope this helps!

What is 5(y-2)-2=2(y+1)-5? Solve for y and show your work please.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the left side of the equation.

5(y-2)-2= 2(y+1)-5

5y-10-2= 2(y+1)-5

Now let's solve the right side

5y-10-2= 2y+2-5

5y-12= 2y-3

-2y     -2y

3y-12=-3

   +12 +12

3y = 9

3y/3 = 9/3

y = 3

hope this helps!
