Answer:  The two roots are x = 3/2 and x = -2

=========================================================

Explanation:

You have the right idea so far. But the two numbers should be 3 and -4 since

  • 3*(-4) = -12
  • 3+(-4) = -1

The -1 being the coefficient of the x term.

This means you need to change the -3x and 4x to 3x and -4x respectively. The other inner boxes are correct.

---------

Refer to the diagram below to see one way to fill out the box method, and that helps determine the factorization.

If we place a 2x to the left of -2x^2, then we need an -x up top because 2x*(-x) = -2x^2

Then based on that outer 2x, we need a -2 up top over the -4x. That way we get 2x*(-2) = -4x

So we have the factor -x-2 along the top

The last thing missing is the -3 to the left of 3x. Note how -3*(-x) = 3x in the left corner and -3*(-2) = 6 in the lower right corner.

We have the factor 2x-3 along the left side.

---------

The two factors are (2x-3) and (-x-2) which leads to the factorization (x+3)(-x+2)

The last thing to do is set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x

  • 2x-3 = 0 solves to x = 3/2 = 1.5
  • -x-2 = 0 solves to x = -2

The two roots are x = 3/2 and x = -2

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

m/3 + 4 = 7

Subtract 4 from each side

m/3+4-4 = 7-4

m/3 = 3

Multiply each side by 3

m/3*3 = 3*3

m =9

If f(x) = 6x - 4, what is f(x) when x = 8?
NNADVOKAT [17]
The answer is 44

To find this answer, we replace x with 8 and use PEMDAS (order of operations) to simplify

f(x) = 6*x - 4
f(8) = 6*8 - 4
f(8) = 48 - 4
f(8) = 44
