Answer:

(x + 3)(3x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 12 = - 36 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 9 and - 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² + 9x - 4x - 12 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term

= (x + 3)(3x - 4)

Thus

3x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 3)(3x - 4) ← in factored form

Help me please, I don't really get this at all.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Seats to minutes = 2 to 11:

2/11 = s/m.

When  s = 16:

2/11 = 16/m

m = 11*16 / 2

= 176/2

= 88  minutes.

When s =  19:

2/11 = 19 / m

m = 11*19 / 2

m  = 209/2

= 104.5 minutes.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

  • proportional: A, B, D, G, I
  • non-proportional: C, E, F, H

Step-by-step explanation:

Any relation with a non-zero initial value or y-intercept is non-proportional. Any relation that has a constant ratio between output and input is proportional.

  C has an initial value of 7

  E has a y-intercept of -3

  F has an initial value of 2.00

  H has an initial value of 5

All of these are non-proportional. The remainder are proportional.

The length of a rectangle is 3 ft less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 14 ft2 . find the dimensions of th
omeli [17]
Given: A= 14 ft²  and  l= 2w-3 
formula for area of a rectangle is A=lw
substitute for what you know and simplify: 
14=(2w-3)w -> w= either -2 or 7/2 but because a width value can not be negative you can eliminate the -2 value. w=7/2 
subsitute width into equation for length and solve
l=2w-3= 2(7/2)-3= 4
width: 3.5 ft
length: 4 ft
