Answer:
3x+8=0
x=-8/3The face of the denominator must be 0
And the face and denominator of the fraction must be positive
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + 5x = 12
2x² + 5x - 12 = 0
x² + 5x - 24 = 0
factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. the only pair that adds to 5 is 8 and 3
2x² - 3x + 8x - 12 = 0
split the equation and factor
2x² - 3x = 0 ||| 8x - 12 = 0
x(2x - 3) ||| 4(2x - 3)
therefore the pair is (2x - 3)(x + 4)
2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 3/2
or
x + 4 = 0
x = -4
Simplifying the given expression, it is found that Curtis is correct.
<h3>How to simplify the expression?</h3>
The expression to be simplified is given by:
[4(10) - 3²] + 6(4)
The non-related operations can be solved first, hence:
[4(10) - 3²] + 6(4) = [40 - 9] + 24
For the square, we have to consider that:
- For -x², the negative is not part of the square, hence the result is negative, as - x*x = -x².
- For (-x)², the negative is part of the square, hence the result is positive, as (-x)*(-x) = x².
The first bullet point is the reason that -3² = 9. Then, the simplified expression is completed as follows:
[40 - 9] + 24 = 31 + 24 = 55.
Which means that Curtis is correct.
