Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(8)(7) = 14x
14x = 56
x = 4
24*7 = 168
(2*12)*7=168
168*2=336

Answer:
It's like solving a quadratic, but in reverse, and in this case you'll arrive at x2+x−12=0
Explanation:
We're going to go "backwards" with this problem - normally we're asked to take a quadratic equation and find the roots. So we'll do what we normally do, but in reverse:
Let's start with the roots:
x=3, x=−4
So let's move the constants over with the x terms to have equations equal to 0:
x−3=0, x+4=0
Now we can set up the equation, as:
(x−3)(x+4)=0
We can now distribute out the 2 quantities:
x2+x−12=0
1/3 + 5/6 + 5/12
