Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-12)=15
->
x-12+12=5+12

1. your leading coefficient has to be 1 (nothing before the x^2). If there is you have to divide that out before you start.
2. Move your constant (the number without any x attached) to the other side of the equation
3. take 1/2 of the b term (the one with the x attached) and then square it and then add it to both sides
4. Factor the left side
5. Set each factor equal to 0 and solve
Here is an example:
4x^2-24x+20=0
The first term is not a 1 so we have to divide it out by 4 first
x^2-6x+5=0
Move the 5 to the other side. It becomes negative.
x^2-6x=-5
Take 1/2 of 6 (3) then square it (9) and add it to both sides.
x^2-6x+9=-5+9
Factor the left side
(x-3)(x-3)=4
(x-3)^2=4
To solve you need to square root both sides
x-3=+/-
x-3=+/-2
x=3+2=5
x=3-2=1
Those would be your two answers.

Answer:
Red = 10 cm, blue = 14 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Let the length of each red rod be </em><em>r </em><em>and each blue rod be </em><em>b</em>
<u>Then we have:</u>
<u>Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by 2:</u>
<u>Add the equations to eliminate one of variables:</u>
<u>Find the value of b:</u>
- 3*10 -2b = 2
- 30 - 2 = 2b
- 2b = 28
- b = 14 cm
