2(х + 4) - 5 = 3х + 3
What’s the answer

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

2(x + 4) - 5 = 3x + 3

Distribute the 2

2x + 8 - 5 = 3x + 3

Combine like terms

2x + 3 = 3x + 3

Subtract both sides by 2x

3 = x + 3

Subtract both sides by 3

0 = x

The answer is x = 0

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
