Working: 3x + (3x - 16) = 136
6x - 16 = 136
6x = 152
x = 25 1/3
(longer piece) = 76 ft
(shorter piece) = 60ft

How would you solve 3x^2-12=0?
Gennadij [26K]

                                                                                 3x^2 - 12  =  0

Personally, I would divide each side by 3                x^2 - 4  =  0

Then I would add 4 to each side                              x^2        =  4

Then I would take the square root of each side:     x  =  +4
                                                                                     x  =  -4 .

Having found both solutions, I would relax with a cup of tea.
