Question

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 3(x – 42 = 752

Answer 1

X=292.6

Step 1: distribute 3 through parentheses
3x-126=752

Step 2: move the constant to the right and change it sign
3x= 752+126

Step 3: add the numbers
3x= 878

Step 4: divide both sides by three
X= 878/3 or 292.6
