If \( \Large 2x^{2}+12x+18=0 \), what is the value of x ?
A) 3
B) 2
C) -3
D) -2
Correct answer:
C) -3
Description for Correct answer:
Given equation is
\( \Large 2x^{2}+12x+18=0 \)
= \( \Large x^{2}+6x+9=0 \) [divide by 2]
= \( \Large x^{2}+3x+3x+9=0 \) [by factorisation method]
= \( \Large x \left(x+3\right)+3 \left(x+3\right)=0 \)
= \( \Large \left(x+3\right) \left(x+3\right)=0 \)
= \( \Large \left(x+3\right)^{2}=0 \)
= x+3 = 0
= x = -3
