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

your school sold 456 tickets for a high school play. An adult ticket cost $3.50. A student ticket cost $1. Total to ket sales eq
Svet_ta [14]
A + s = 456........a = 456 - s
3.5a + s = 1131

3.5(456 - s) + s = 1131
1596 - 3.5s + s = 1131
-3.5s + s = 1131 - 1596
-2.5s = - 465
s = -465/-2.5
s = 186 <====== student tickets sold

a + s = 456
a + 186 = 456
a = 456 - 186
a = 270 <==== adult tickets sold

At one​ store, Julia saved ​$10 with a coupon for 40​% off her total purchase. At another​ store, the ​$29 she spent on books is
barxatty [35]
Let "a" and "b" represent the values of the first and second purchases, respectively.
  0.40*(original price of "a") = $10
  (original price of "a") = $10/0.40 = $25.00 . . . . divide by 0.40 and evaluate
  a = (original price of "a") - $10 . . . . . . Julia paid the price after the discount
  a = $25.00 -10.00 = $15.00

At the other store,
  $29 = 0.58b
  $29/0.58 = b = $50 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b and evaluate

Then Julia's total spending is
  a + b = $15.00 +50.00 = $65.00

Julia spent $65 in all at the two stores.

I mean, I don't know how to explain a generic way to solve this. Ask me about the specific train of thought if you are interested:
