3x^2+ 2x -18x -12
= (3x^2+ 2x) -(18x+ 12)
= x(3x+ 2) -6(3x+ 2)
= (3x+2)(x-6)
Final answer: (3x+2)(x-6)
3/4 is the simplest form of 9/12
Part a) Find the expression that gives the perimeter of ∆XYZ
we know that
Perimeter of triangle ABC is equal to

In this problem ∆ABC and ∆XYZ are similar triangles
the scale factor is equal to r
so

therefore
the answer Part a) is
The expression that gives the perimeter of ∆XYZ is 
Part b) Find the expression that gives the area of ∆XYZ
we know that


therefore
the answer Part b) is
The expression that gives the Area of ∆XYZ is 
Answer:
x= -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You take out 2 by multiplying 2/1 in both sides
then u have 4-3x=5
You subtract 4 from 5 and you have
-3x=1
divide and the answer is x= -1/3
Octagon is your answer, i think
