Answer:

a=6

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...

3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)

3a+9-6=21

3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)

3a=21-3

3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)

a=18/3

a=6

to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a

3(a+3)-6=21

3(6+3)-6=21

3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)

29-6=21

21=21

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a + 3) - 6 = 21

3(a + 3) = 21 + 6

3(a + 3) =27

a + 3. = 27 ÷ 3

a + 3. = 9

a. = 9 - 3

a. = 6

So, we know that:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}ab\\P=a+b+c\\a^2+b^2=c^2

We also know that (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2. We will use that fact to find c in terms of A and P.

A=\dfrac{1}{2}ab\Rightarrow 2ab=4A\\P=a+b+c\Rightarrow a+b=P-c

Therefore:

(P-c)^2=c^2+4A\\P^2-2cP+c^2=c^2+4a\\2cP=P^2-4A\\c=\dfrac{P^2-4A}{2P}

(x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4) = 0​
Ber [7]

We have to find the value of x from the given equation.

  • (x - 2)(x² - 2x + 2) = 0 is a quadratic equation, so it will have two values.

Step: Write the equation in simplest form.

  • (x - 2)(x² - 2x + 1) = 0

Step: Solve the problem by spiltting method.

  • (x-2)(x² - x -x + 1) = 0
  • (x - 2)(x²-x - x + 1) = 0
  • (x - 2) [x(x - 1) -1(x -1)]
  • (x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)]

Step: Solve the problem with using algebraic formula.

{x-1](x-1)

Step : We have used a²-b² to solve the problem.

(x-2)(x² - x -x + 1) = 0

(x - 2)(x²-x - x + 1) = 0

(x - 2) [x(x - 1) -1(x -1)]

(x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)]

Therefore, the possible factorization is (x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)].
