16x - 8x + 12 = 78 + 22 or simplified to (16x-8x=8x)(78+22=100) 8x + 12 = 100 Simplify some more (Subtract 12 from both sides) 8x = 88 Divide both sides by 8, and x = 11
Perform the indicated subtraction. 12 - 9 = 3
-6to work it out: remember BIDMASso 3x2=6! then 6-12=-6
The equation is equivalent to: -3x2 - 12x - 1 = 0 [you could change signs to get 3x2 + 12x + 1 = 0 but that is not required] The discriminant is (-12)2 - 4*(-3)(-1) = 144 - 12 = 132
