Multiply everything in the parentheses by the 4
this equals 4x + 2
since one term has a variable and ine doesnt, they cannot be combined.
x = - 2 and x = 3
to find the zeros set f(x) = 0
3x² - 3x - 18 = 0
divide through by 3
x² -x - 6 = 0
(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = - 2 and x = 3 are the zeros
Mit+Ball=22
5•Ball-2=Mit
5ball-2+ball=22
6ball=24
Ball =24/6=$4
Mit=5•4-2=20-2=$18
