B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 9x + 18 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 3)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

solution is x = 3, x = 6 → B

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
