Answer:
x=2 or x=−4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
(x+6)(x−4)=−16
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x2+2x−24=−16
Step 2: Subtract -16 from both sides.
x2+2x−24−(−16)=−16−(−16)
x2+2x−8=0
Step 3: Factor left side of equation.
(x−2)(x+4)=0
Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.
x−2=0 or x+4=0
x=2 or x=−4
The last answer is correct
The answer would be 60
The first think you would need to do would simply 144. Which would be 12.
Then you are going to want to multiply-5 by 12.
Which would be 60.
With 12 as a positive number, being greater or to than 60 then will become a positive.
8x^2+6x^2+4x=138 combine like terms on left side
14x^2+4x=138 since the number of seats in the from row is just 4x, subtract 14x^2 from both sides
4x=138-14x^2 that would be the general solution, if you wanted the actual number you would have to solve for x and then multiply that value by 4 to know what "4x" is...
14x^2+4x-138=0
14x^2-42x+46x-138=0
14x(x-3)+46(x-3)=0
(14x+46)(x-3)=0
2(7x+23)(x-3)=0, since x>0
x=3 and thus
4x=12 seats
So there are 12 seats in the front row addition.
