1. Solving Quadratic and Linear Equations

can you please answer these questions simply and simple workings out pleeeeaseee and tell me the answer!

1) Solve 5(x+1)=3x + 12

2)facotorise x(squared) + 5x + 4

3) rearrange the forumla to make x the subject y = b- ax(squared)

4) solve x(squared) + 5x + 4 = 0

I'll get you started on the first couple, make an attempt at the others

1/

$5x+5=3x+12$

$5x -3x=12-5$

$2x=7$

$
x=7/2
$

$x=3.5$

2/

$x^2+5x+4$

$=(x+4)(x+1)$

Note: 4 is a continuation of 2

$y=b-ax^2$

$-ax^2=y-b$

$x^2=\frac{y-b}{-a}$

$x=\pm \sqrt{\frac{y-b}{-a}}$

$x=\pm \sqrt{\frac{b-y}{a}}$
