Answer:
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = 12 (multiply the binomials)
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6 = 12
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6-12 = 0 (add the like term and bring the positive 12 to the other side which makes it negative)
x² + 5x + 6 = 0
Using the snowflake method - (finding the factors of 6 that adds/subtracts to give you 5).
This method will give you the factors (x + 6)(x - 1)
ZERO PROPERTY RULE:
(x + 6) = 0
x = -6
(x - 1) = 0
x = 1
The two solutions to the equation are -6 and 1.
Answer:
what is difficult about this problem? do you not have a calculator? what part is tough?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all subtract the whole number, 2, from 8 1/5
You would get 6 1/5
Now subtract 2/5 from that, or set up an equation like:
6 + 1/5 - 2/5
you would get 6 - 1/5 or 5 4/5
