The correct Answer is:
To solve the system of equations given by: 1. \( a = b^2 + 4b - 12 \) 2. \( a = -12 + b \) we can set the two expressions for \( a \) equal to each other since they both represent \( a \): \[ b^2 + 4b - 12 = -12 + b \] ### Step 1: Simplify the equation First, we can eliminate \(-12\) from both sides: \[ b^2 + 4b - 12 + 12 = b \] This simplifies to: \[ b^2 + 4b = b \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation Next, we will move all terms to one side of the equation: \[ b^2 + 4b - b = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ b^2 + 3b = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the equation Now we can factor the left-hand side: \[ b(b + 3) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( b \) Setting each factor equal to zero gives us: 1. \( b = 0 \) 2. \( b + 3 = 0 \) which simplifies to \( b = -3 \) ### Conclusion Thus, one possible value of \( b \) is: \[ b = -3 \]
