\bf \stackrel{\textit{solving for \underline{x}}}{12x^2-48=0\implies 12x^2=48\implies x^2=\cfrac{48}{12}\implies x^2=4} \\\\\\ x=\pm\sqrt{4}\implies x=\pm 2

All three methods are easy and effective. Here's solving the equation using all three methods.

First Option:

12x^2-48=0\\ 12x^2=48\\ x^2=4\\ x=+/-\sqrt{4} \\ x=2,-2

Third Option (Remember that the equation for the quadratic formula is x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a},\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} , with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant):

x=\frac{-0+\sqrt{0^2-4*12*(-48)}}{2*12},\frac{-0-\sqrt{0^2-4*12*(-48)}}{2*12}\\\\ x=\frac{-0+\sqrt{2304}}{24},\frac{-0-\sqrt{2304}}{24}\\ \\ x=\frac{48}{24},\frac{-48}{24}\\\\ x=2,-2

Fourth Option:

12x^2-48=0\\12(x^2-4)=0 \\ 12(x+2)(x-2)=0\\ \\ x+2=0\\ x=-2\\ \\ x-2=0\\ x=2

What is the value of x?<br><br> 27(x+4)=−6<br><br><br> −35<br><br> −25<br><br> 25<br><br> 35
Oksanka [162]

x = -38/9 !!!


27(x+4)=−6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

27(x+4)=−6

(27)(x)+(27)(4)=−6 (Distribute)

27x+108=−6

Step 2: Subtract 108 from both sides.

27x+108−108=−6−108

27x=−114

Step 3: Divide both sides by 27.

27x/27=−114/27

x=−389
