i need reasoning?

Answer 6

they really really reach for these word problems don't they?

Answer 7

YES!!!

Answer 8

reasoning? reason is that some moron tried really really hard to make up a "word problem" in a situation that does not call for one. very artificial. but if you look closely at the words, you see \(4x+3\) "times" as often so that is a clue to multiply.

Answer 9

as for solving , it is kind of ugly
multiply out and get
\[12x^2+x-31=0\] then use the quadratic formula
or cheat
