What value of x makes this equation true?
12(x+3)=-8x
a. -9
b. 9
c. -1.8
d. 17
Other:

-1.8 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x+3)=-8x

Distribute

12x +36 = -8x

Subtract 12x from each side

12x-12x +36 = -8x-12x

36 = -20x

Divide each side by -20

36/-20 = -20x/-20

-9/5 = x

Changing to decimal form

-1.8 =x

c. -1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x+3) = -8x

12x + 36 = -8x

20x = -36

x = -36/20

x = -1.8

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5

step-by-step explanation:

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
