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!

Janaya buys a postcard from each travel destination she visits. Before starting her travels this year, Janaya had 20 postcards.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The percentage increase in Jayana's postcard collection is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Jayana had 20 postcards last year

With 3 more postcards this year

From the given equation Quantity = Percent x Whole

Here;

Let P = Percent/100%

Quantity = Increment in postcard = 3 postcards

Whole = The total postcards from last year = 20 postcards

Hence,

3 postcards = P x 20 postcards

P = 3/20 = 0.15

Recall P = Percent/100%

∴ Percent = P x 100% = 0.15 x 100% = 15%

The percentage increase in Jayana's postcard collection is 15%
