2(x)^2 - 2(x) - 12 = ?
2(x)^2 - 2(x) - 12
(x)^2 - 6 - x
Multiply ↪1 (-6) = -6
1 + -6 = -5 , right?
-3 + 2 = -1, right?
After we have pulled out the like terms we have to add/subtract! x(x) - 3
Search for the common denominator
2(x) - 3
You can add up 4 for your terms
x + 2 (x - 3)
Make sure you solve this↪ 2 = 0
x + 2 = ?
x + 2 = 0
We have found the first; x = -2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since, this one has a single variable, I'll make the step easier and quicker
Solve this part ↪ x-3 = 0
If we had the number 3 to your sides we would have found the outcome of the next x
So, the second x is 3
So, therefore your answer would have to be x =-2 ; x = 3 (most likely option C.)
Answer:
-12^5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$1.5 and $8.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
let tables be x and chairs be y
The total cost to rent 3 chairs and 2 tables is $22
so
3x+2y=22----------1
The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 6 tables is $60
so
5x+6y=60---------2
the system of equation is
3x+2y=22----------1X 6
5x+6y=60---------2X 2
18x+12y= 132
- 10x+12y=120
8x+0y= 12
8x= 12
divide both sides by 8
x= 12/8
x=$1.5
put x= 1.5 in 2
5(1.5)+6y=60---------2
7.5+6y=60
6y=60-7.5
6y=52.5
divide both sides by 6
y= 52.5/6
y=$8.75
to solve this we need to isolate the x variable.
subtract 1 from each side: [3x+4] = 6
now we can drop the parentheses and subtract 4 from each side: 3x = 2
divide each side by 3: x = 2/3
