Answer:
x = 9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
=
( cross- multiply )
3(4x - 6) = 4(2x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
12x - 18 = 8x + 20 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 18 = 20 ( add 18 to both sides )
4x = 38 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = = 9.5
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that any radical expression has real solutions only if A is not negative. (otherwise you will have imaginary solutions)
hence in this case we have
,
for real solutions, 8x must be ≥ 0,
since 8 is a positive number, x must be ≥ 0 (answer)
