What are the solutions of x2 + 3x − 18 = 0? Show all work for full credit.

Im really bad at this . Please help and no rude comments.

  • x² + 3x − 18 = 0

    factor the left side of the equation

    (x + 6)(x - 3) = 0

    set each factor equal to 0

    (x + 6) = 0

    x = -6

    (x - 3) = 0

    x = 3

    thus the solution is x = {-6, 3}

    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    solution check

    for x = -6

    x² + 3x - 18 = 0

    (-6)² + 3(-6) - 18 = 0

    36 - 18 - 18 = 0

    36 - 36 = 0

    0 = 0 <------- true

    for x = 3

    x² + 3x - 18 = 0

    (3)² + 3(3) - 18 = 0

    9 + 9 - 18 = 0

    18 - 18 = 0

    0 = 0 <------- true

  • Is there a photo of the homestead with its dimensions categorised in words of x? without seeing it, that's no longer a chance to respond to the questions. (I wasn't allowed get properly of entry to to the link that you blanketed.)
