Question

how many real solutions does 3x² +24x = -48 have

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² +24x = -48

3x² +24x + 48 = 0

x² +8x + 16 = 0

By using cross multiplication,

(x-4)² = 0

Therefore,

x-4 = 0

x = 4 (repeated)

Answer 2

Answer:

Only one real solution

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]{ \tt{ {3x}^{2} + 24x = - 48}} \\ { \tt{ {3x}^{2} + 24x + 48 = 0 }} \\ { \tt{ {x}^{2} + 8x + 16 = 0}} \\ { \tt{(x + 4) = 0}}
