Question

B2 - 7b + 12 = 0

Factored equation: ( ) ( ) = 0
ANSWERS: b = ____, and b = ____

Answer 1

b2-7b+12=0
(b-3)(b-4)=0
b= 3 or 4

Answer 2

Answer: (b - 4)(b - 3); b = 4 and 3

Explanation:

ima assume these are exponents since you didnt care to correctly write the equation.

What two numbers multiply to equal 12, but add to equal -7? That's -4 and -3

So the factored form of this trinomial is (b - 4)(b - 3) = 0. Make each of these expressions equal to 0 in order to get your answer.
