So 7 x = x2 -18 so you get the quadratic x^2 -7x -18 and then get 2 x -9= -18 and 2 + -9 = -7 so you get (x + 2) ( x - 9) so the positive solution would be x-9 = 0 so x= 9. Hope this helps :)
A. Product of a constant factor 12 and two-term factor x+3
Answer:
try b
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent Age of Time Traveler =========> X
Solve:
x = 3(x - 20 )
Step 1: Simplify Both sides of equation:
x = 3(x - 20 )
x = (3) (x) + (3) ( - 20 ) (Distribute ):
x = 3x + - 60
x = 3x - 60
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides:
x - 3x = 3x - 60 - 3x
- 2x = - 60
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2:
- 2x / - 2 = - 60 / - 2
x = 30
Answer: Our Time Traveler is 30 years old.
Hope that helps : )
