Answer:

The amount of wire left is 4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the wire is (7x - 3) meters long.

A length of (3x - 4) meters is cut.

How much wire is left?

Initial amount subtracted by the amount that is cut. So

(7x - 3) - (3x - 4) = 7x - 3 - 3x + 4

We combine the like terms

7x - 3x - 3 + 4 = 4x + 1

The amount of wire left is 4x + 1

The solutions to a certain quadratic equation are x = -4 and x = 3. Write the equation in standard form below.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

$x^2 + x -12$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the solutions are x=-4 and x=3, then it must have factors (x+4)(x-3). Assuming there is no GCF or leading coefficient other than 1, multiply with FOIL to find the standard form.

$(x+4)(x-3)\\x^2 + 4x -3x -12\\x^2 + x -12$
