We can’t see those questions we don’t know what you are working on.
2/3 + 3/4 = 8/12 + 9/12 = 17/12 = 1 5/12
1 + 5/12 = 12/12 + 5/12 = 17/12 = 1 5/12
2/3 + 3/4 = 1 + 5/12
Answer:
≈ 58
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.
Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.
You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.

The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.
2(x)^2 - 2(x) - 12 = ?
2(x)^2 - 2(x) - 12
(x)^2 - 6 - x
Multiply ↪1 (-6) = -6
1 + -6 = -5 , right?
-3 + 2 = -1, right?
After we have pulled out the like terms we have to add/subtract! x(x) - 3
Search for the common denominator
2(x) - 3
You can add up 4 for your terms
x + 2 (x - 3)
Make sure you solve this↪ 2 = 0
x + 2 = ?
x + 2 = 0
We have found the first; x = -2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since, this one has a single variable, I'll make the step easier and quicker
Solve this part ↪ x-3 = 0
If we had the number 3 to your sides we would have found the outcome of the next x
So, the second x is 3
So, therefore your answer would have to be x =-2 ; x = 3 (most likely option C.)
