-5x - 8 = -18
-5x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8
-5x = -10
-5x / (-5) = -10 / (-5)
x = 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular prisms have F=6 faces and E=12 edges.

By cutting one corner, we are adding 3 edges.

By cutting two corners, we are adding 2*3 = 6 edges.

Therefore the new solid has 12 + 6 = 18 edges.

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are six and -2 and who’s leading coefficient is 3 use the letter X to represent the var

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

$3X^{2} - 12X - 36 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

6 and - 2 are the only two solutions to the required quadratic equation.

So, if the variable is represented by X then (X - 6) and (X + 2) will be the only two factors of the polynomial function.

Therefore, the equation is

(X - 6)(X + 2) = 0

⇒ $X^{2} - 4X - 12 = 0$

If the leading coefficient of the equation is 3 then we can write the equation as $3X^{2} - 12X - 36 = 0$ (Answer)
