4 0
(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!

Solve the equation 4(3y-1)-3(2y)=6​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

4(3y - 1) - 3(2y) = 6

Remove backets

12y - 4 - 6y = 6

Group and Evaluate like terms

12y - 6y = 6 + 4

6y = 10

y = 10 \div 6

y = 1.67

y =  \frac{5}{3}

What is the average rate of change of the line whose equation is:
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Rate of change = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

y − 3 = −12(x + 4)

Expanding, we have;

y - 3 = -12x - 48

y = -12x - 48 + 3

y = -12x - 45

Now, formula for rate of change is;

Rate of change = (y(x + h) - y)/h

y(x + h) is; y = -12(x + h) - 45

This gives;

Rate of change = (-12(x + h) - 45 + 12x + 45)/h

Rate of change = (-12x - 12h - 45 + 12x + 45)/h

Rate of change = -12h/h

Rate of change = -12

Molly and Arthur are taking their daughter Ginny on a roller coaster ride. For safety, they need to find their total weight befo
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

This is weirdly written, but let's try to solve it:

M is the mass of Molly

A is the mass of Arthur

G is the mass of Ginny.

We can represent the weight as:

(M + A) + G

or as:

A + (G + M)

the first situation shows that Molly and Arthur are weight together (this is why their weight is shown as only one), and then they weight Ginny alone.

The second situation shows that Arthur is weight alone, and Ginny and Molly are weight together (this is why their weight is written as only one)
