Cassandra is trying to think of a good way to keep her financial records. She makes a lot of purchases, using cash, debit cards, and credit cards about equally. When she gets home every day, she tends to be very tired and doesn’t like to do a lot of organized thinking. She tends to lose individual pieces of paper if she doesn’t file them immediately. What might be a good method for Cassandra to use?

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
