Hey there!

x^2 + 4x = 12

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 12 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0

FACTOR the LEFT SIDE of your EQUATION

(x - 2)(x + 6) = 0

• EQUATION #1: x - 2 = 0

OR

• EQUATION #2: x + 6 = 0

SIMPLIFY IT

• EQUATION #1 answer: x = 2

OR

• EQUATION #2 answer: x = -6

OVERALL ANSWER: x = 2 or x = -6

YOUR ANSWER: x = 2 (Option A.)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

kramer

Answer:

\frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of matching the number drawn on the gold ball is

\frac{1}{46}

The number of possible pairs of numbers from 1 to 53 is

\binom{53}{2}  =  \frac{53 \times 52}{2}  = 53 \times 26

Choosing 5 numbers, you are choosing 10 different pairs:

\binom{5}{2}  =  \frac{5 \times 4}{2}  = 10

Therefore the probability of correctly matching the drawn pair is

\frac{10}{53 \times 26}

Thus, the probability of winning (matching the pair AND the gold ball) is

\frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26}
