Q. Let p=3x+4. Which equation is equivalent to (3x+4)2−36=15x+20 in terms of p? Choose 1 answer:(A) p2+5p−56=0(B) p2−5p−36=0(C) p2+5p−36=0(D) p2−5p−56=0
Given equation: We are given that p=3x+4. We need to express the equation (3x+4)2−36=15x+20 in terms of p.First, let's expand (3x+4)2.(3x+4)2=(3x+4)(3x+4)=9x2+12x+12x+16=9x2+24x+16
Expanding (3x+4)2: Now, let's substitute the expanded form of (3x+4)2 into the given equation.9x2+24x+16−36=15x+20
Substituting into given equation: Next, we simplify the left side of the equation by subtracting 36 from both sides.9x2+24x+16−36=15x+209x2+24x−20=15x+20
Simplifying left side: Now, we subtract 15x from both sides to get the x terms on one side.9x2+24x−20−15x=15x+20−15x9x2+9x−20=20
Isolating x terms: Next, we subtract 20 from both sides to isolate the terms with x on one side.9x2+9x−20−20=20−209x2+9x−40=0
Subtracting 20: Now, we need to express this equation in terms of p. Since p=3x+4, we can rewrite 9x as 3(3x) and 9x2 as \ (\(3x)^2 \\).(3x)2+3(3x)−40=0
Expressing in terms of p: Substitute p for 3x+4 in the equation.(p−4)2+3(p−4)−40=0
Substituting p for 3x+4: Expand (p−4)2 and simplify the equation.(p−4)(p−4)+3p−12−40=0p2−4p−4p+16+3p−12−40=0p2−5p+16−12−40=0
Expanding (p−4)2: Combine like terms to simplify the equation further.p2−8p+16−52=0p2−8p−36=0
