Which are the solutions to the equation (x+2) (3x +1)=0? select all that apply. a. x= -2 b. x=2 c. x= -1/3 d. x= 1/3

Hi there!

The two parentheses are multiplied together, so in order for this equation to be equal to zero, you need at least one of the two parentheses to be equal to zero.

The solution A is good because even just in the first parentheses, if you replace the "x" by "-2" and solve the parentheses, you'll see that it equals 0 and anything multiplied by zero equals zero.

The solution C is good because if you replace "x" by "-1/3" in the second parentheses and you solve it, you'll see that it equals 0 and anything multiplied by zero equals zero.

The answer is : Solutions A and C are good.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
