Evaluate if m = 9, n = 4, and p = 6. *

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.

step-by-step explanation:

the 2000 florida legislature amended section 322.05, florida statutes, changing the requirements to obtain a class e license for a driver under the age of 18 holding a learner's license. the following requirements must be met in order to obtain a regular class e license if a learner's license is issued on or after october 1, 2000:

must hold a learner's license for at least 12 months or until the 18th birthday.

must have no convictions 12 months from the issue date of the learner's license.

may have one traffic conviction within 12 months from the issue date of the learner's license if adjudication is withheld.

a parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult over 21 years old must certify that the driver has 50 hours driving experience, including 10 hours of night time driving.
