\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

Explain why is 1/5 bigger than 0.15
Nitella [24]
1/5 is greater because it equals 0.2

0.2 has an imaginary 0 at the end, to make it 0.20

.20 > 0.15

Therefore, 1/5 is greater than 0.15

In ABC, what is the measure of angle B?
NeX [460]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two remote interior angles (a remote interior angle is the interior angle that is not supplementary to the exterior angle given -- in this case A and B are remote angles) equals the exterior angle.

In This case A + B = 140

A = x + 2

B = 2x

x +2 + 2x = 140

3x + 2 = 140                     Subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 138                           Divide by 3

x = 138/3

x = 46

<B = 2x

<B = 2*46

<B = 92
