2x²-2x-12=0
simplify it into x²-x-6=0
factored form: (x-3)(x+2)=0
solutions: x-3=0 or x+2=0
x=3 or x=-2
Not sure how to explain "what the solutions mean for the equation". One thing you can say is that the solutions mean the equations have two roots/two zeros: 3 and -2, or the graph of 2x²-2x-12 intersects the x axis at (3,0) and (-2,0).
I do not know beacause that is a reallly diffcult questio n which an eight grader can not figure out
You could either convert 0.56 to a percent, thus making it 0.56%, or convert 65% to a decimal, thus making it 0.65.
65% would be greater.
