Solve the equation: -4x - 12 = 8

-4x - 12 = 8

     + 12  +12

<u>-4x </u>=<u> 20</u>

-4     -4

<em>x = -5</em>

To ensure that x equals -5, let's substitute the negative integer with x.

-4 x -5 - 12 = 8

-20 - 12 = 8

8 = 8

Therefore, the answer is x = -5 because we confirmed our answer by substituting x with -5 and solving the equation and got the both sides of the equation equal.

-4x-12=8
Add12 to both sides
-4x= 20
Divide both sides by -4
X= -5

Give an example of a quadratic with complex roots. Explain how you know it has complex roots.
Vladimir [108]
2x^2 + x + 3=0 has only complex roots.

The determinant is 1-4*2*3 = -23

-23 (or any determinant) is the part under the square root sign,  If that determinant is negative, knowing you cannot take the square root of a negative number, we know the answers must be complex.

10. Write an equation in point-slope form and slope-intercept form for the line.
olga2289 [7]

We can use the points (2, -2) and (4, -1) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= -1-2/4-(-2)

= -3/6

= -1/2

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -1/2(x + 2)

Solve for y-intercept.

-2 = -1/2(2)  + b

-2 = -1 + b

-2 + 1 = -1 + 1 + b

-1 = b

Slope Intercept Form: y = mx + b

y = -1/2x - 1
