Answer:

x = {-3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 9)(x − 4) = 0

Solution 1

3x + 9 = 0

3x = -9

x = -3

Solution 2

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

x = {-3, 4}

---------------------------

if by solve you meant expand

(3x + 9)(x − 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9x - 36 = 0

3x² - 3x - 36 = 0

Answer:

x = 4

x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Method 1</em></u>

<u>Quadratic Formula</u>

(3x + 9)(x - 4) = 0

3x(x - 4) + 9(x - 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9(x - 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9x - 36 = 0

3x² - 3x - 36 = 0

3(x² - x - 12) = 0

\frac{3(x^{2}  - x - 12)}{3} = \frac{0}{3}

x={\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} }

Ignore the A after the -b, wouldn't let me type it correctly. Ignore the A for the rest of the explanation as well.

x² - x - 12 = 0

a = 1

b = - 1

c = - 12

x={\frac{-(-1)±\sqrt{(-1)^{2}-4(1(-12)) } }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{-(-1)±\sqrt{1-4(1(-12)) } }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{-(-1)±\sqrt{1+48 } }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{-(-1)±\sqrt{49 } }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{1±7  }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{1±7  }{2} }

Separate into two equations.

One with addition and the other with subtraction.

x={\frac{1+7  }{2} }

x={\frac{1-7  }{2} }

x = 4

x = - 3

<u><em>Method 2</em></u>

<u>Factors</u>

(3x + 9)(x - 4) = 0

3x(x - 4) + 9(x - 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9(x - 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9x - 36 = 0

3x² - 3x - 36 = 0

3(x² - x - 12) = 0

3(x² + 3x - 4x - 12) = 0

3(x² + 3x + (- 4x - 12)) = 0

3(x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3)) = 0

3(x - 4)(x + 3) = 0

<em>Create separate equations</em>

x - 4 = 0

x + 3 = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4 ⇒ x = 4

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3 ⇒ x = - 3

x = 4

x = - 3

What is the surface area of the triangular prism shaped toy car ramp
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

400 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area= summation of area of all the faces the object has

out object has 2 triangular faces, and 3 rectangular faces

S.A = 2(0.5bh) + LW +LW+LW

= 2(0.5 x 8 x 15) + (15x7) + (17 x 7) + (7×8)

= 120+105+119+56

= 400 square inches
