(2) answer that explanation
Answer:
2 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
If x² - 8x = -12
Step 1
We find x by solving
x² - 8x = -12
We equate to zero
x² - 8x + 12 = 0
We factorise
x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0
x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0
(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0
x - 6 = 0, x = 6
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
x = 6 or 2
Step 2
What is x - 4?
When x = 6
= 6 - 4 = 2
When x = 2
= 2 - 4 = -2
Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2
Answer:
60 ; - 40 ; 22 ; - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Number of questions = 20
Rules :
Every correct answer scores 3 points.
Each incorrect answer loses 2 points.
A question not answered scores 0 points.
It is possible to finish the quiz with a negative score.
a)
Maximum score : answering all questions correctly :
(3 points * 20 questions)
= 3 * 20
= 60 points
b)
Minimum score is obtainable by answering all questions incorrectly ;
(-2 points * 20)
= - 40 points
c)
10 correct answers = (3 * 10) = 30 points
(14 - 10) = 4 incorrect answers = (-2 * 4) = - 8 points
Net total = 30 + (-8) = 30 - 8 = 22 points
d) Another student answers 18 questions,
5 are correct. How many points does she score?
5 correct answers = (5 * 3) = 15 points
(18 - 5) incorrect answers = (13 * - 2) = - 26 points
Net total = 15 + (-26) = - 11 points
Y-4=2/-3(x-6) I believe that’s the answer hope this helped
