Hey!
Hope this helps...

Generally what I like to do, to solve questions like this is to substitute the given answers into the equation to solve this faster...
Equation: x^2 + 10x + 12 = 36
A.) (-12)^2 + 10(-12) + 12 = 36
144 - 120 + 12 = 36
24 + 12 = 36
36 = 36
(2)^2 + 10(2) + 12 = 36
4 + 20 + 12 = 36
24 + 12 = 36
36 = 36
Since we found the answer with the first try, we already know the correct answer is A.
So...
The Correct answer is: A.) x=-12 or x=2
Constant because of the fact that it has a zero slope, so it will never decrease nor decrease.
<span><span><span>Let the original number be "x".
(x-10)/4 = 2
x-10 = 8
x = 18 (original number of pieces of candy.)</span></span></span>
Both equations are the same
<span>y=−4x+4 ----> y+4x=4,
so </span><span>consistent dependent</span>
