Answer:
x = 15 or x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross- multiplying gives
(14x + 6)(17x + 5) = 9x(27x + 11) ( expanding factors )
238x² + 172x + 30 = 243x² + 99x
rearrange into standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0
5x² - 73x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form
consider the factors of the product 5 × - 30 = - 150 which sum to the coefficient of the x-term (- 73 )
the factors are - 75 and + 2
Use these factors to split the middle term
5x² - 75x + 2x - 30 = 0 ( factor by grouping )
5x(x - 15) + 2(x - 15) = 0 ← take out the factor (x - 15)
(x - 15)(5x + 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 15
5x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 
14. You divide the length of ribbon by the size of the pieces wanted so you get
49/3.5 = 14
Answer:
2c - 18x + 74/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Distribute
</u>
2(c + 7) - 18x + 4/5
(2 * c) + (2 * 7) - 18x + 4/5
<em>2c + 14 - 18x + 4/5
</em>
<u>Step 2: Combine like terms
</u>
2c + 14 - 18x + 4/5
<em>2c - 18x + 74/5
</em>
Answer: 2c - 18x + 74/5
Answer:
its 3.
