2 x 6 = 12 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
x^2 + 24x = 0 add to both sides 12^2 (144) x^2 + 24x + 12^2 = 12^2 use the formula (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2; (x + 12)^2 = 12^2 x + 12 = +, - 12 subtract 12 to both sides; x = 0 or x = -24
2 x 6 = 12 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
If the equation is structured like this: (8/x)=(12/(x+2)) then x=4. If the equation is structured like this: (8/x)=(12/x)+2 then x=-2.
(x^2 - x - 12) = (x^2 - 4x + 3x -12) = x(x -4) + 3(x -4) = (x-3) x (x-4) Hence (x^2 - x - 12) divided by (x -4) is (x-3)
