15 increased by a number x: 15 + x
a number x more than −14: x > -14
t<span>he difference of 7 and a number x: </span>7/x
Let the attendees in opposition be x. This means that the attendees in favour are x+6.
That means x+x+6=42, which is 2x+6=42, so 2x=36 and x=18. Therefore, there are 18 attendees who opposed it.
To factor, you can first treat it like a single bracket and find the common factor. In this case, the common factor is 3x, so you get
3x(x² + 7x + 12)
Now you can factor the bracket normally, by finding factors of 12 that add up to make 7. The factors would be 3 and 4, so the bracket becomes (x + 3)(x + 4).
This leaves your final answer as
3x(x + 3)(x + 4)
I hope this helps!
Simply substitute the point into the given equation; as there is one variable, you only need one point and so one is given. When done so, you shall get b=4
