Answer:

He should have divided 12 ÷ 3 first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following PEMDAS/BODMAS, the first step is solving equations in parentheses. Since the parentheses contain a multi-step equation, Jay needs to follow PEMDAS for inside the parentheses as well. Instead of adding 3+12 first, he should have done division first (12  ÷ 3).

How the problem should be solved:

-3 × (3 + 12 ÷ 3) - 4

-3 × (3 + 4) -4

-3 × 7 - 4

-21 - 4

-25

Use the zero product property to find the solitions to the equation(x+2)(x+3)=12.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = 12  (multiply the binomials)

(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6 = 12

(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6-12 = 0  (add the like term and bring the positive 12 to the other side which makes it negative)

x² + 5x + 6 = 0

Using the snowflake method -  (finding the factors of 6 that adds/subtracts to give you 5).  

This method will give you the factors (x + 6)(x - 1)

ZERO PROPERTY RULE:

(x + 6) = 0

x = -6

(x - 1) = 0

x = 1

The two solutions to the equation are -6 and 1.

4. Write an equation of a line that passes<br> through the points (-5, -11) and (-2,1).
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

y=4x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-(-11))/(-2-(-5))

m=(1+11)/(-2+5)

m=12/3

m=4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-11)=4(x-(-5))

y+11=4(x+5)

y=4x+20-11

y=4x+9
