Answer: -6
Step by step:
2x + 3(8) = 12
2x + 24 = 12
2x = -12
x = -6
The answer would be 26.25
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the standard quadratic equation is ax^2+bx+c=0
Let's compare all the given equation to it and , find discriminant.
1. a=2, b= -7, c=-9
So it has 2 real number solutions.
2. a=1, b=-4, c=4

So it has only 1 real number solution.
3. a=4, b=-3, c=-1

So it has 2 real number solutions.
4. a=1, b=-2, c=-8
So it has 2 real number solutions.
5. a=3, b=5, c=3

Thus it does not has real solutions.
It is neither.
To be even, f(x) must equal f(-x).
If you substitute -x for x, you'd get
y = (-x)^2 - 2(-x) -8
y = x^2 +2x -8
This is not the same as the original, so this is not even.
To be odd, f(x) must equal -f(-x).
If you take the -x substitution from the last step and then multiply it by -1, you'd have:
y = -1 (x^2 +2x -8)
y = -x^2 -2x +8
This is not the same as the original either.
The function is neither even nor odd.
