Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her present age. The given relation is ...

  x +12 = x^2

Putting this in standard form, we can factor it:

  x^2 -x -12 = 0

  (x -4)(x +3) = 0

Solutions to this quadratic are x = 4, x = -3. The -3 solution is extraneous in this context.

The girl's present age is 4.

Factor 3x + 9<br><br> Please explain how you got the answer
eimsori [14]

To factor 3x + 9 you should know that 3 is a common factor of both 3 and 9, so you can factor 3 out in both numbers like this.

3x + 9

3(x + 3)

When you factor out 3 on both numbers you should know that 3 X 3 = 9 and since you factored out 3 there would be another 3 left so you would have the answer: 3(x + 3)

Here is another equation that might help:

24x + 36

Since 12 is a common factor of both numbers, factor 12 out of the equation:

12 (2x + 3)

You know that 12 x 2 = 24 and that 12 x 3 = 36

And since you can't factor out anymore numbers because 2 and 3 doesn't have any common factors with each other you get the answer:

12 (2x + 3)
