We're solving for X.

A. Apply special formula (ax^2+2bx+c^2)

3 (x^2+2[2x]+2^2) = 48

3(x^2+4x+4)=48

B.Multiply the coefficient with the trinomial

3x^2+12x+12=48

C. Set the equation to zero by subtracting 48 from both sides.

3x^2+12x-36=0

D. Factor using either trial and error or ac method of cross method

I'll choose trial and error.

a. Right away we can see 3(1) will be the beginning of your factors.
Why? Because nothing else multiplies to make 3.

(3x+?) (x+?)

b. Now check that -36 out. What multiplies to -36?
Remember, when using trial and error you're building off standard form, ax^2+bx+c^2 so you also have to apply whatever numbers you choose to multiply into the c^2 = -36 to add or subtract into bx=12x.

So for this problem I chose -2 and 18 because 3(-2)=-6 and 18-6=12.

Thus...

3x^2+12x-36=0

(3x+18)(x-2)

E. Set both binomials to zero and solve for X. I'll leave this to you.

Complete the equation of the line through (-9,-9)(−9,−9)left parenthesis, minus, 9, comma, minus, 9, right parenthesis and (-6,0
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line is;

y = 3x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the equation of the line through (-9,-9) and (-6,0)

we start by calculating the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (0+ 9)/(-6+9) = 9/3 = 3

The general equation of the line is;

y = mx + c

y = 3x + c

To get c, we use any of the points

we substitute for example -6 for x and 0 for y

0 = 3(-6) + c

c = 0 + 18 = 18

So the equation of the line is;

y = 3x + 18

Please help <br><br> questions 12,14,16
notka56 [123]

Answer:

12) y=3x-15

14) y=-1/2x

16) y=13x-105

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines always have the same slopes but different y-intercepts. So, we can make the equation (b is y-intercept of new equation):

12) y=3x+b

14) y=-1/2x+b

16) y=13x+b

now, we can plug in each of the coordinates given to these equations.

12) (4,-3): 4 is x, -3 is y.

       -3=3(4)+b

      simplify: b= -15

14) (-4,2): -4 is x, 2 is y

      2=-1/2(-4)+b

        simplify: b=0

16) (9,12): 9 is x, 12 is y

       12=13(9)+b

       simplify: b=-105

Now, plug in those numbers to your equation for b value.

12) y=3x-15

14) y=-1/2x

16) y=13x-105

*for 14 we don't need to write anything after -1/2x because b=0*
