Answer:
Quadratic Formula
so
x = -5
and
x = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever you see a problem in this form, which you will see a lot of, you can try to factor it or use the "least squares" method or what have you, but those won't always work, unfortunately.
Fortunately, the quadratic formula will never fail you with quadratic expressions.
This is the Quadratic Formula

a is the the number on the variable with the exponent ^2
b is the number on the variable with no exponent
c is the third number
a and b cannot be equal to 0; c can be
Since we're looking for a number with an equation that has a square root in it, we're going to get two answers. These two answers come from the radical being separately added AND subtracted from the radical. It's basically two problems.
Plugging in our numbers to this equation gives us x values of -5 and 0.5. This will always work with polynomials with factors of ^2 in them.
If you have a TI-84 calculator or newer, there's a tool on it that will factor polynomials like this one for you just by giving it the numbers.
the 2 equations given are vertical angles which mean they would equal the same.
Set the two equations to equal each other to solve for x:
6(x-2) = 3x+30
Simplify the left side:
6x-12 = 3x+30
Add 12 to eac side:
6x = 3x+42
Subtract 3x from each side"
3x = 42
Divide both sides by 3:
X = 42/3
X = 14
Now you know X, replace x with 14 in the equation for DHG:
DHG = 6(x-2)
6(14-2)
Simplify:
6(12)
Multiply:
72
Angle DHG is 72 degrees.
1/2 / 3/8 =
1/2 * 8/3 =
1*8 / 2/3 =
8/6 = 4/3 your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
AB · BE = CB · BD Given
CB/BE = AB/BD Division Property of Equality
<ABC = <DBE Vertical angles are equal
ΔABC ≅ ΔDBE SAS Similarity Theorem

The volume of a box is equal to the product its width, length and height
V = whl
Since all of the sides are 4 inches, we end up with
V= 4*4*4
Simplify to V = 16*4 = 64.
If the volume of one box is 64:
V = 64
The volume of 12 boxes is 64 * 12.
12V = 768
Since the volume of 12 boxes is the same as the volume of the carton, the volume of the carton must be 768 cubic inches.
