1.) Solve the equation:

(3/4)x - (2/3)x = 4 + 2 = 6
(9x - 8x)/12 = 6
x = 72

2.) Pump A can fill a tank in 8 hours, and [ump B can fill the same tank in 12 hours. How long will it take to fill the tank if both pumps are used?

Time taken by both the pumps to fill the tank = 1/[1/8 + 1/12] = 1/[(3 + 2)/24] = 24/5 = 4.8 hours

3.) Solve by factoring:
A.) Write the three factors
B.) What are the solutions (roots)?

(A) Given equation = x(12x^2 + 7x - 5) = x(x + 1)(12x - 5)
(B) x(x + 1)(12x - 5) = 0
The solutions are x = {0, -1, 5/12}

4.) Use the discriminant to classify the roots of the equation:

D = b^2 - 4ac = (-20)^2 - 4 * 25 * -5 = 900, which is positive
 The equation has two real roots

5.) Solve the equation:

9x^2 + 13x + 4 = ...
