Answer:
x = 4 ±
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x - 12)(x + 4) = 9 ← expand the left side using FOIL
x² - 8x - 48 = 9 ( ad 48 to both sides )
x² - 8x = 57
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 57 + 16
(x - 4)² = 73 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 4 = ± ( add 4 to both sides )
x = 4 ±
Answer:
b =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
a = ( multiply both sides by 3b - 2 )
a(3b - 2) = b + 1 ← distribute left side
3ab - 2a = b + 1 ( subtract b from both sides )
3ab - b - 2a = 1 ( add 2a to both sides )
3ab - b = 1 + 2a ← factor out b from each term on the left side
b(3a - 1) = 1 + 2a ( divide both sides by 3a - 1 )
b =
