Use the zeroes to figure this out... x=-18, y=9
For 14, the answer is >. You inversed it. You are right about question 15.
It is -12, negative + negative is Negative unless if its with a positive it will cancel out
ex, -12 + 6= -6
X^2=x+12
minus x+12 both sides
x^2-x-12=0
factor
(x-3)(x+4)=0
set each to zero
x-3=0
x=3
x+4=0
x=-4
x=3 or -4
answer is first one
Answer: B. 240
Step-by-step explanation:
