To solve this polynomial equation, we first factor the left side.

To factor x² + 8x + 12 = 0, look for factors of 12 that add to 8.

These factors are 6 and 2 so we have (x + 6)(x + 2) = 0.

So either x + 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 and solving for

x in each equation, our answer is {-6, -2}.

Organisers for a charity event sold 500 tickets. Adult price £3 and children £2. Money received from adult ticket sales is £400
Tatiana [17]

Answer: 280

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

                  Quantity   X    Cost    =  Money Received

Adult:               x                   3                   3x          

Children:       500-x              2            2(500 - x) = 1000 - 2x


Adult = Children + 400

  3x   =  1000 - 2x + 400

  3x   =   1400 - 2x

  5x   =   1400

    x    =    280

The ages of three children in a family can be expressed as consecutive integers. The square of the age of the youngest child is
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: 10, 11, & 12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the age of the youngest child.  

Their ages are consecutive so,

Youngest: x

Middle: x + 1

Oldest: x + 2

The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.

x² = 8(x + 2) + 4

x² = 8x + 16 + 4

x² = 8x + 20

x² - 8x - 20 = 0

(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0

x - 10 = 0     or      x + 2 = 0

  x = 10       or          x = -2

Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid

So, the Youngest (x) is 10

the Middle (x + 1) is 11

and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
