Answer:

x = 2 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 1)² = 9

First, take the square root of both sides. This will eliminate the square on the left side.

(x + 1) = √9

Note that √9 can be 3 or -3.

Let's write out both possibilities.

(x + 1) = 3

(x + 1) = -3

Solve.

(x + 1) = 3

[subtract 1 from both sides]

x = 2

--

(x + 1) = -3

[subtract 1 from both sides]

x = -4

Your answers are 2 and -4.

Let's check our answers by plugging in the values back into the original equation.

(x + 1)² = 9

(2 + 1)² = 9

(3)² = 9

9 = 9

That solution is correct.

(x + 1)² = 9

(-4 + 1)² = 9

(-3)² = 9

9 = 9

That solution is also correct.

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

He floor of a moving van is 3 feet off of the ground. The ramp into the van makes a 12° angle with the ground. About how long is
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Given :

Hight of the van from the ground, h = 3 feet.

The ramp into the van makes a 12° angle with the ground.

To Find :

How long is the ramp.

Solution :

Let, length of ramp is l .

So, height of ramp in terms of length is given by :

h = l \times sin\ 12^o\\\\l = \dfrac{h}{sin \ 12^o}\\\\l = \dfrac{3}{sin \ 12^o}\\\\l = 14.429 \ feet

Hence, this is the required solution.

(2x + 3y = 12) x (-2)
(4x - 3y = 6) x 1

-4x - 6y = -24
4x - 3y = 6

You can cancel out the x values by adding the two equations together. 
(-4x + 4x) + (-6y - 3y) = (-24 + 6)
-9y = -18
y = 2

Solve for x now...
4x - 3(2) = 6
4x - 6 = 6
4x = 12
x = 3

Check... (x = 3, y = 2)
2(3) + 3(2) = 12 
6 + 6 = 12
12 = 12 <- this works! 

4(3) - 3(2) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 <- this works!
