Answer:
x= -2/3 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x²-16x-12
3x²-18x+2x-12
(3x²-18x)+(2x-12)
3x(x-6)+2(x-6)
(3x+2)(x-6)
x= -2/3 and 6
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's re-write the equations in order to get the variables as separated in independent terms as possible \:
First equation:

Second equation:

Third equation:

Now let's subtract term by term the reduced equation 3 from the reduced equation 1 in order to eliminate the term that contains "y":

Combine this last expression term by term with the reduced equation 2, and solve for "x" :

Now we use this value for "x" back in equation 1 to solve for "y":

And finally we solve for the third unknown "z":

Parentheses first
9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7
Combine like terms
9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7
add 38 to both sides
12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38
12q = 45
divide both sides by 12
q = 45/12
q = 3.75
