Solve to find the value for x in the linear equation: 36-4x + 5) = 12 CIE
1 Use the distributive property:
2 Use the subtraction property of equality
3. Division property of equality:
3(-4x) + 3(5) = 12
-12x + 15 = 12
- 12x + 15 - 15 = 12 - 15
-12x = -3
Intro

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

         3(-4x + 5) = 12

To solve for x;

  Use the distributive property to open the parentheses;

     3(-4x) + 3(5) = 12

      -12x + 15 = 12

 then, add -15 to both sides;

    -12x + 15 + (-15) = 12 + (-15)

            -12x  = -3

  divide both sides by -12;

          =

           x  =

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p
