I believe its either A or C
Answer:
(x + 3)(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 5x + 6
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)
The factors are + 3 and + 2 , since
3 × 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5 , thus
x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2)
Decrease = New number - Original Number
% Decrease =
× 100
Decrease = 9 - 12 = -3
% Decrease =
= -0.25 × 100 = -25
Your answer =
-25
Answer is: a= -4

3
:
a 3 1
(————————————————— + —————) - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a - 3 a + 3
Equation at the end of step
4
:
(4a + 9) 1
————————————————— - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a + 3
Pull out like factors :
3a + 12 = 3 • (a + 4)
Equation at the end of step
6
:
3 • (a + 4)
————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
