Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60
Combine like terms
x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0
Factor the equation
(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0
x= -12 and -4
f(x) = 5x^2 - 4x
g(x) = 5x + 1
Therefore f - g = 5x^2 - 4x - (5x + 1)
= 5x^2 - 4x - 5x -1
= 5x^2 -9x - 1
Hope it helps :)
You can predict that it will be less then either of the factors. if you take half of half from anything will you ever have more than half of the original.
