A student solved a quadratic equation as shown here:

2x^2+5x=12

x(2x+5)=12

x=12 or 2x+5=12

x=12 or 2x+5-5=12-5

x=12 or 2x=7

x=7/2,12

Explain the errors in the process. then correct the errors, and solve the equation.

x = 3/2 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The identifiable error the students have is that before the left hand side of the equation is factorized, the right hand side value of 12 ought to be brought to the left hand side, leaving a net value of zero on the right hand side. Then whatever is factored  on the left hand side is then equated to zero and then we can find the two values of x after setting each of the individual factors to zero

We proceed as follows;

pakistan's principal natural resources are arable land and water. about 25% of pakistan's agriculture accounts for about 21% [1] of gdp and employs about 43% of the labour force. in pakistan, the most agricultural province is punjab where wheat and cotton are the most grown.

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
