Answer:

x = 3/2 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The identifiable error the students have is that before the left hand side of the equation is factorized, the right hand side value of 12 ought to be brought to the left hand side, leaving a net value of zero on the right hand side. Then whatever is factored on the left hand side is then equated to zero and then we can find the two values of x after setting each of the individual factors to zero

We proceed as follows;

$2x^{2} + 5x = 12\\2x^{2} + 5x - 12 = 0\\2x^{2} + 8x -3x -12 = 0\\2x(x+4) -3(x+4) = 0\\(2x-3)(x+4) = 0\\2x-3 = 0 or x+4 =0\\2x=3 or x=-4\\x = 3/2 or x= -4\\x = 1.5 or- 4$

In the right triangle shown Ac=BC and AB=6 to the square root of 3, how long are each of the legs

Inga [223]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

I will just assume that you made a typo when typing the question when saying AB is 6√3. Here is the solution if AB = 6√2.

Since it is given that ABC is a right triangle and x labels each of the legs, the triangle is a right isoceles triangle.

Now we can use the right isoceles triangle theorem to solve the problem. This theorem states that if a leg is "x" in a right isoceles triangle, then the hypotenuse is equal to x√2.

Here, the hypotenuse is equal to 6√2. To figure out the legs, you need to solve the equation 6√2 = x√2. It is solved here:

6√2 = x√2 (Divide by √2)

x = 6

The length of the legs are 6 units.

Evan lives in Stormwind City and works as an engineer in the city of ironforge in the morning he has three Transportation option

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The probability that he teleports at least once a day = $\mathbf{\frac{5}{9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Evan lives in Stormwind City and works as an engineer in the city of ironforge in the morning he has three Transportation options teleport ride a dragon or walk to work and in the evening he has the same three choices for his trip home.

Total no of outcomes = 3

P( He not choose teleport in the morning ) = $\frac{2}{3}$
