Answer:

x = 8

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 12x = 96

Divide both sides by 3

x² - 4x = 32

Add 4 to both sides

x² - 4x + 4 = 32 + 4

(x - 2)² = 6²

Find the square root of both sides

√(x - 2)² = √6²

x - 2 = +/- 6

x - 2 = +6 or -6

x - 2=+6

x=6+2

x=8

x - 2=-6

x=-6+2

x=-4

x = 8

x = -4

In how many ways can a committee of four men and four woman be formed from a group of seven men and eleven women?

-Dominant- [34]

Choosing 4 men from seven can be done in 7C4 = 35 ways
(There are 7 to choose from then 6 and 5 and 4 = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4
but we don’t want them in order so we need to divide by 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
Similarly choosing 4 women from 11 can be done in 11C4 = 330 ways.

Total number of ways to choose 4 men and 4 women = 35 x 330 = 11550

The volume of a sphere is 972(pi)ft3.

pav-90 [236]

Here are some simple equations that can be a life saver with this stuff :

vol of a sphere =

$v = \frac{3}{4} \pi \: {r}^{3}$

Circumference =

$2 \times \pi \times r$

sorry this might not be very helpful. I haven't don't this since last year. You basically have to work backwards. so plug in 972 for V and then do (3/4)×3.14.

then take the answer u got for ^^ and divide it by 2? not sure.
