Answer:

The number that goes in place of the question mark is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it!

3x² + 12x - 24 = 0

First we can factor 3 out of each term:

x² + 4x - 8 = 0

Now we'll add 12 to both sides to complete the square:

x² + 4x + 4 = 12

And finish it off:

(x + 2)² = 12

So the answer to the question is 2

Bonus:

We can also now solve this for x:

(x + 2)² = 12

x = √12 - 2

x = 2√3 - 2

x ≈ 2 × ±1.732 - 2

x ≈ 1.464, -5.464

I already answered that question, here's the link: brainly.com/question/10534199.

But if you still want the explanation, here it is:

"So if we want to measure probability, you have to add, then divide, like this:

First 4+8+6, which gives us 18.

Then we see, that 6 is 1/3 of 18, so we conclude. The answer is 33.33%.

Hope this helped!
