\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

lawyer [7]

Answer:

C=10000(0.852)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the exponential function be,

C=a(b)^t

Here, C = cost of the car

t = Duration or period in years

From the given table,

Two points representing cost of the car and time are (10000, 0) and (8520, 1),

For (10000, 0),

10000=a(b)^0

a = 10000

For (8520, 1)

8520 = 10000(b)^1

b=\frac{8520}{10000}

b = 0.8520

Therefore, exponential equation will be,

C=10000(0.852)^t

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.Josiah has punch c
love history [14]

Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

\begin{gathered} T=2+7x \\ \text{and} \\ C=11+4x \end{gathered}

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.

Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

\begin{gathered} T=C \\ \Rightarrow2+7x=11+4x \\ \Rightarrow3x=9 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{3}=3 \\ \Rightarrow x=3 \end{gathered}

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

\begin{gathered} x=3 \\ \Rightarrow T=2+7\cdot3=23 \\ \Rightarrow T=23 \end{gathered}

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
