The equation given in the question is
2s + s + 12 = 132
3s + 12 = 132
3s = 132 - 12
3s = 120
s = 120/3
= 40
From the above deduction we can see that the value of the unknown variable comes out to be exactly 40. This is possible because there is a single unknown variable and a single equation to get the value of the variable from. So the correct option among all the options given in the question is option "D".
Answer:
x=5 twice
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-10x+25=0
multiply the coefficient of x^2 and the last term
1X25=25
find two numbers you can multiply to get 25 and add to get -10
-5 + (-5)=-10 the middle term
replace -10x with -5x -5x and solve the equation
x^2-5x-5x+25=0
factorise by grouping
x(x-5)-5(x-5)=0
(x-5)(x-5)=0
Either x-5=0,x=5 or x-5=0,x=5
Therefore x=5 twice.
Ummmmmmm -26 ......... in
