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

Ket [755]

Answer:

In your console (ctrl + shift + j), the letter a would appear. Beneath that, the letter c would appear.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the val2 is not less than or equal to 3. The second condition that's inside the first condition is true but since the first condition is false, the second condition would not run.
