Answer:
1) 117
2) 51
3) congruent
4) to each other
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute the -12 to the (x+5) getting 144=-12x-60.
Next you add 60 to each side getting 204=-12x
Then you divide each side by -12 getting -17=x, which is the answer.<span />
2x³+18x²<span>-18x-162 =
2(</span>x³+9x²-9x-81)=
2(x²(x+9)-9(x+9))=
2(x²-9)(x+9)=
2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)
