Answer:
The number that goes in place of the question mark is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve it!
3x² + 12x - 24 = 0
First we can factor 3 out of each term:
x² + 4x - 8 = 0
Now we'll add 12 to both sides to complete the square:
x² + 4x + 4 = 12
And finish it off:
(x + 2)² = 12
So the answer to the question is 2
Bonus:
We can also now solve this for x:
(x + 2)² = 12
x = √12 - 2
x = 2√3 - 2
x ≈ 2 × ±1.732 - 2
x ≈ 1.464, -5.464
Answer:
3/5 of the students in the class are not in accounting majors
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of males in the class is 3/8
3/5 of them are accounting majors
The ones who are not in accounting majors are;
3/8 - 3/5 = 9/40
The total number of female students in the class is;
8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8
1/4 of them are accounting majors
The ones who are not in accounting majors are;
5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8
Total number of students not in accounting majors;
9/40 + 3/8
= 24/40
= 3/5
Answer:
a=sqrt(d)-b, a=-sqrt(d)-b
Step-by-step explanation:
(a+b)^2=d
(a+b)=sqrt(d)
a+b=sqrt(d), a+b=-sqrt(d)
a=sqrt(d)-b, a=-sqrt(d)-b
