2/ 3 - (3 - 1) * 3 - 1 = -4
Simplify
= 2/-4
which is
= -2/4
Then simplify again
= -1/2
Answer:
-2?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x(x - 3) + 7(x - 3)
2x^2 - 6x + 7x - 21
reduce
2x^2 + x - 21
if this is equal to 0 then:
2x^2 + x - 21 = 0
factored:
(2x + 7)(x - 3) = 0
How that was done:
Divide the (2x^2) into (2x) and (x).
Divide the (-21) into (+7) and (-3). You choose these numbers so that their sum, when multiplied by (2x) and (-3), adds up to (+x).
Answer:
b. {-9, 3}.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 6x - 27 = 0
We need 2 numbers whose product is -27 and whose sum is + 6.
These are + 9 and - 3. So the factors are:
(x - 3)(x + 9) = 0
(x - 3) = 0 or (x + 9) = 0
x = 3 or -9.
