3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4
His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.
The sum of 2 opposites =0
X+6 would now equal 0
So your answer is 0
Answer:
27(less than symbol) 5x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
5 times a number is 5x
increase means add
Total people in the cafeteria = 7 + 48 + 45 = 100
There are 45 boys.
The probability would be the number of boys over the total number of people:
45/100, which simplifies to 9/20
Answer:
D: -5(-6x^2 + x + 2)
E: 5(2x + 1)(3x − 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>first two answer choices have incorrect constants</em> (25 and 3 vs -10). A factor of 5 is removed from the remaining answer choices, so let's remove a factor of 5 and see what we get:
30x^2 -5x -10 = 5(6x^2 -x -2)
An additional x cannot be factored from the expression, so <em>choice C can be eliminated</em>.
Multiplying each of these factors by -1 will make the product correspond to answer choice D.
Factoring will make it correspond to answer choice E, best verified by finding the x-term of the product of the binomial factors:
E: 2x(-2) +1(3x) = -x, as required
F: 2x(2) -1(3x) = x, wrong sign
The equivalent expressions are those of choices D and E.
