Algebra is a very important branch of math.

Algebra is a lot like arithmetic which means it follows all the rules of arithmetic, and it still uses the four main operations that arithmetic is built on.

In arithmetic, the only thing that was unknown was the answer to the problem. For example, 39 + 2 = 41. In algebra, we use a variable to represent the number. A variable is a letter that represents any number. The most common variable is "x".

What two numbers add up to 6 and multiply to 12?

GuDViN [60]

Erm

x+y=6
xy=12

x+y=6
y=6-x
sub back

xy=12
x(6-x)=12
6x-x^2=12
x^2-6x=-12
x^2-6x+12=0
quadratic formula
for
ax²+bx+c=0
$x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

for
x²-6x+12=0
a=1
b=-6
c=12
and remember that √-1=i

$x= \frac{-(-6)+/- \sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(12)} }{2(1)}$
$x= \frac{6+/- \sqrt{36-48} }{2}$
$x= \frac{6+/- \sqrt{-12} }{2}$
$x= \frac{6+/- (\sqrt{-1})(\sqrt{12}) }{2}$
$x= \frac{6+/- (i)(2\sqrt{3}) }{2}$
$x= \frac{6+/- 2i\sqrt{3} }{2}$
x=3+/-i√3

the numbers are 3+i√3 and 3-i√3
no real numbers tho

For the first one, the answer is 2. You can only fold it vertically and horizontally. For the second one, the answer is O because any way you turn it, it still looks like O. I hope this helps!
