you did a question not an answer pal sorry

12 ⇒ A. statement is true.
***When x=-5⇒2*(-5)²+6*(-5)-8=12⇒B. statement is true.
***2x²+6x-8 can also be written as (x+5)*(2x-4)+12 so (x+5) is a factor of 2x²+6x-8⇒C. statement is true.
***When x=5⇒2*5²+6*5-8=72 is not 12⇒D. statement is not true
***(2x²+6x-8):(x+5)=2x+16

***E. statement is not true.
The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
