Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
first distribute the 2 through x-4 you get 2x-8=6x then subtract 2x from both sides of the equation now you have 4x=-8 then divide 4 from both sides of the equation and you x=-2
To solve this problem follow the steps below.
Step 1:List out all of the factors for -36
-36: 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-9,-12,-18,-36
Step 2: Start going through a process of guessing and checking (basically take any two factors and add them together to see if they equal 13)
1 plus 12=13
9 plus 4=13
Step 3:Check your calculations and make sure you didn't make any errors
13-12=1 and 13-1=12
13-9=4 and 13-4=9
Answer: 1 and 12
4 and 9
I hope this helps and if any false information was given I apologize in advance.
This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !
You're totally correct, as far you went. x² + 2x does = -1
Now add ' 1 ' to each side: x² + 2x + 1 = 0
Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?
Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.
x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²
So the solutions of x² + 2x + 1 = 0 are both x = -1 .
Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.

to work it out just go output f (x) - input x so, 3 - 1 = 2 and double check this using your next equations 4 - 2 = 2
the answer should be C. 5.27
