Answer:
x=2
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to get everything on one side to have a quadratic equation:
x^2+6x-4 -(3x+6) = x^2+3x-10
All factors of 10 are 1*10 and 2*5.
5-2 = 3 and 5*-2 = -10
Factoring x^2+3x-10 gives us (x-2)(x+5)
x=2
x=-5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember that a Right triangle is a triangle that has an angle that measures 90 degrees.
According to the Altitude Rule, given a Right triangle, if you draw an altitude from the vertex of the angle that measures 90 degrees (The right angle) to the hypotenuse, the measure of that altitude is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.
In this case, you can identify that the altitude that goes from the vertex of the right angle (
) to the hypotenuse of the triangle, is:

Then, based on the Altitude Rule, you can set up the following proportion:

According to the Leg Rule, each leg is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the portion of the hypotenuse that is located directly below that leg of the triangle.
Knowing this, you can set up the following proportions:

Solve the equation
So first we subtract 8 from both sides because we apply the inverse operation.
-2x+8=-16
-8 -8
Now we apply it and re write the equation
-2x=-24
Now the inverse operation for multiplication is division, so we apply it.
-2x=-24
------------
-2 -2
We are left with x=8
So our final answer is x=8
Check our work
-2(8)+8=-16
CORRECT ANSWER. :)
Each year the boat is worth 100-12 = 88% ( or 0.88) of the year before
after 12 years the boat is worth 12050 * 0.88^9 = $3813.56
Minus 9x from both sides
-3y=-9x+12
divide both sides by -3
y=3x-4
