OpenStudy (anonymous):

first rewrite the expression in parenthesis as (ax^2+bx+c)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you have to work with the parenthesis... factor an x out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then factor an x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i subtract 12 from both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
