Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given p = x²+6

We are to express (x²+6)-21 = 4x²+24 in terms of p

We need to rewrite the expression first

(x²+6)²-21 = 4x²+24

Factor out 4 from the right hand side;

(x²+6)²-21 = 4(x²+6)

Replace x²+6 with p

p²+21 = 4p

Collect like terms

p²-4p = -21

p²-4p+21= 0

Hence the required equation is p²-4p+21= 0
