Answer:

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9 ← expand the left side using FOIL

x² - 8x - 48 = 9 ( ad 48 to both sides )

x² - 8x = 57

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 57 + 16

(x - 4)² = 73 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{73} ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± \sqrt{73}

5x + (x÷3) = 38.4<br>Which value of x makes the equation true ​
denpristay [2]

5x + X/3 = 38.4

or, 5x* 3 + X = 38.4*3

or,. 15x + X. = 115.2

or,. 16 X. = 115.2

or,. X. = 115.2/16

X = 7.2

Describe why you can change a subtraction problem into an addition problem
Elena-2011 [213]
A subtraction problem can be turned in to an addition problem because of negative numbers. Take 5-2=3 for example. If you change 5-2 into an addition problem then you would but he addition sign and a negative sign on 2. This will then leave you with the problem looking like 5+ -2. If you add 5 and -2 you will still get three.

how do you determine if the answer to a problem is negative or positive in division multiplication addition and subtraction
erica [24]
In multiplication, a negative times a positive has a negative answer. if both are positive or both are negative, the answer is positive.
5 * -5 = -25
-5* -5 = 25


in divisions say you have
-5/5 = -1
-5/-5= 1
5/-5= -1


in addition and subtraction, subtracting a negative means to add the two numbers. adding a negative means to subtract the second number.

5+ (-5) = 0
5- (-5) = 10
