Answer:

2(x-5)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 − 2x − 40

Factor out a 2

2(x^2 -x -20)

What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to -1

-5*4 = -20

-5+4 = -1

Let a=x^2+4. Use a to find the solutions for the following equation:
Helga [31]
(x^2+4)^2 + 32 = 12x^2 + 48 .... a = x^2 + 4 
<span>(x^2 + 4)^2 + 32 = 12(x^2 + 4) </span>
<span>a^2 + 32 = 12a </span>
<span>a^2 - 12a + 32 = 0 </span>
<span>(a - 8)(a - 4) = 0 </span>
<span>a = 8 and a = 4 </span>

<span>for a = 8 ... 8 = x^2 + 4 ... x^2 = 4 ... x = +/- 2 </span>
<span>for a = 4 ... 4 = x^2 + 4 ... x^2 = 0 ... x = 0 </span>

<span>x = -2, 0, +2 so your answer is going to be e

How do I solve -3(3+x)+(x-6)=-4 ?
zysi [14]

\huge\boxed{x=-\frac{11}{2}}

Start by distributing the -3 to the (3+x). -3(3) + (-3)(x) + (x-6) = -4

Multiply and simplify. -9-3x+(x-6)=-4

Rearrange the terms. -3x+x-9-6=-4

Combine like terms. -2x-15=-4

Add 15 on both sides. -2x=11

Divide both sides of the equation by -2. x=\boxed{-\frac{11}{2}}
