Answer:
x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a value of x that would result in 2x+9 = 12
2x+9 = 12
2x = 12 - 9
2x = 3
x = 3/2 or 1.5
====
CHECK
Does 2x+9 = 12 when x = 1.5?
2x+9 = 12
2(1.5)+9 = 12
3 + 9 = 12 YES
Answer: C. 4 hours
Explanation: You first measure how long 1/5 of an hour is in which is 12 minutes. You then multiply 12 by 20 because it takes 12 minutes to get 1/20 of the lawn watered. Your answer now should be 240. Finally, divide that number by 60 because you are measuring time in hours. Your final answer should be 4 hours.
The answer to your question is 3.666

Answer: Choice B. x = 4 and x = 3</h3>
Work Shown:
x^2 - 7x = -12
x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0
(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 ... see note below
x - 3 = 0 or x - 4 = 0
x = 3 or x = 4
Note: we're looking for two numbers that multiply to 12 and add to -7. Those two numbers are -3 and -4, so that's where the factorization (x-3)(x-4) comes in. After this step, you set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.
