The answer is B x = -4. x= 3
You must factor the equation by find what 2 numbers can multiply to equal -12 and add to equal 1.
-3 and 4 are the two numbers. Now to put it in factor form would be:
(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0
They y also must equal zero.
Since its equals to 0, we must solve for x for the binomial.
x - 3 = 0 ; x = 3
x + 4 = 0 ; x = -4
The answer you get from solving x, is that answer
Answer:
y=3/2x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form
y=3/2x+b
we are looking for b now
plug in the points you provided
2=x, 4=y
4=3/2(2)+b
4=3+b
b=1 which is the intercept
Answer:
12. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
12. Using Pythagoras theorem
let shortest distance be = x
8 square + 5 square = x square
64 + 25 = x square
89 = x square
Therefore x = square root of 89
Thus X = 9
8/x+9-(2/x-3)=0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :

Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
3 3 • x
3 = — = —————
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
2 - (3 • x) 2 - 3x
——————————— = ——————
x x
Equation at the end of step 2 :
8 (2 - 3x)
(— + 9) - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 3 :
8
Simplify —

Equation at the end of step 3 :
8 (2 - 3x)
(— + 9) - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
9 9 • x
9 = — = —————
1 x
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
8 + 9 • x 9x + 8
————————— = ——————
x x
Equation at the end of step 4 :
(9x + 8) (2 - 3x)

Step 5 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
(9x+8) - ((2-3x)) 12x + 6
————————————————— = ———————
x x
Step 6 :
Pulling out like terms :
6.1 Pull out like factors :
12x + 6 = 6 • (2x + 1)
Equation at the end of step 6 :
6 • (2x + 1)
———————————— = 0
x
Step 7 :
When a fraction equals zero :
7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.
Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.
Here's how:
6•(2x+1)
———————— • x = 0 • x
x
Now, on the left hand side, the x cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape :
6 • (2x+1) = 0
Equations which are never true :
7.2 Solve : 6 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Remember that you can do anything ot an equaiton as long as you do it to both sides
-8+x=0
add 8 to both sides
8-8+x=0+8
0+x=8
x=8
answer is B. 8
