The first 3 are examples of the difference of 2 squares so you use the identity
a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
x^2 - 49 = 0
so (x + 7)(x - 7) = 0
so either x + 7 = 0 or x - 7 = 0
giving x = -7 and 7.
Number 7 reduces to 3x^2 =12, x^2 = 4 so x = +/- 2
Number 8 take out GCf (d) to give
d(d - 2) = 0 so d = 0 , 2
9 and 10 are more difficult to factor
you use the 'ac' method Google it to get more details
2x^2 - 5x + 2
multiply first coefficient by the constant at the end
that is 2 * 2 = 4
Now we want 2 numbers which when multiplied give + 4 and when added give - 5:- -1 and -4 seem promising so we write the equation as:-
2x^2 - 4x - x + 2 = 0
now factor by grouping
2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2) = 0
(x - 2) is common so
(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
and 2x - 1 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 and now you can find x.
The last example is solved in the same way.

Step-by-step explanation:
X=12 because you would sub the 3 on both sides
Given the following table that gives data from a linear function:
![\begin {tabular} {|c|c|c|c|} Temperature, $y = f(x)$ (^\circ C)&0&5&20 \\ [1ex] Temperature, $x$ (^\circ F)&32&41&68 \\ \end {tabular}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%20%7Btabular%7D%0A%7B%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7C%7D%0ATemperature%2C%20%24y%20%3D%20f%28x%29%24%20%28%5E%5Ccirc%20C%29%260%265%2620%20%5C%5C%20%5B1ex%5D%0ATemperature%2C%20%24x%24%20%28%5E%5Ccirc%20F%29%2632%2641%2668%20%5C%5C%20%0A%5Cend%20%7Btabular%7D)
The formular for the function can be obtained by choosing two points from the table and using the formular for the equation of a straight line.
Recall that the equation of a straight line is given by

Using the points (32, 0) and (41, 5), we have:
