Write in factored form by factoring out the greatest common factor (or a negative common factor if the coefficient of the te te of greatest degree is negative). \( a ( y - 3 ) + z ( y - 3 ) \) 

USING EQUATIONS to solve WORD PROBLEMS Directions: Set up and solve an equation for 12. Find three consecutive even integers such that of the smallest integer and twice the median integer is 20 more than the largest integer.

a) \( f(x)=|x+4|+2 \) b) \( f(x)=- \) c) \( f(x)=3 x^{2}-x-2 \)

Solve the equation: \( \sqrt{x + 4} = 6 \)

Solve the equation \( x: \log _{x+1}\left(x^{2}+x-6\right)^{2}=4 \) We have

\( \left. \begin{array} { l } { 14 . f ( x ) = - 2 x ^ { 2 } + 4 x + 3 } \\ { x } \\ \hline - 2 \\ { - 1 } \\ { - 1 } \\ { 0 } \\ { 1 } \\ { 2 } \end{array} \right. | \)
