Solve. 6x2 = 12x – 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12=-12x Figure the rest out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All you have to do is divide 12 by negative 12. what do you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by finding the square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

completing the square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm changing the variable to "d" because it confused me. 6x2 = 12d-24 ^ Multiply what you can. (6 and 2) 12 = 12d-24 ^ Add 24 to both sides so that you can get rid of the 24 on the right side. 36 = 12d ^ Divide 12 from both sides so that you only have "d" left. 3 = d Hope this helps! (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

completing the square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3= x

OpenStudy (espex):

That equation is most likely \[6x^{2} = 12x – 24\] First divide out your 6 to simplify the problem and you get \[6x^{2} = 12x – 24 \rightarrow x^2=2x-4\] then put into your standard \[ax^2+bx+c=0\] and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (espex):

If you are completing the square then you just need to follow the steps outlined in your lecture, if you are solving for x then I would start with factoring.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cant do the completing the square?

OpenStudy (espex):

I can, but I am not the one learning how, you are. The idea of this site is to help you learn, which involves effort from you, not for someone to do your work.
