Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of a rhombus are equal.

⇒ QT = TS

⇒ x² - 4x - 10 = 6x + 14

⇒ x² - 10x - 24 = 0

⇒ x² + 2x - 12x - 24 = 0

⇒ x (x + 2) - 12 (x + 2) = 0

⇒ (x + 2)(x - 12) = 0

⇒ x = -2 or x = 12

Substitute both values and see which gives a positive value for QT :

When x = -2 :

QT = (-2)² - 4(-2) - 10
QT = 4 + 8 - 10
QT = 2

When x = 12 :

QT = (12)² - 4(12) - 10
QT = 144 - 48 - 10
QT = 86

The 2 possible answers are :

x = -2, QT = 2
x = 12, QT = 86

1/2 (3/2 y + 1/3) = -1/2 (y- 5/2)

dem82 [27]

1/2 [ (3/2)y + 1/3] = -1/2 [y-5/2]

(3/2)y + 1/3 = -(1/2)y + 3

(3/2 + 1/2)y = 3 - 1/3

2y = 8/3

y = 4/3

y = 1.33

The product of nine and a number is added to 6, the result is 24. what is the number

Step2247 [10]

So in numbers : 9n + 6 = 24
or 9n = 24 - 6
or 9n = 18
or n = 18/9
so n = 2

X to the power of 3 - 7x + 6 factorise please whole step by step

Over [174]

Answer:

$(x + 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{3} - 7x + 6$

Factor using Rational Root Theorem.

This means our possible roots are

positve or negative (1,2,3,6). If we try positve 1, it is indeed a root.

This means that

$(x - 1)$

is a root.

We can divide the top equation by the root (x-1). Our new equation is

$( {x}^{2} + x - 6)$

Now we can factor this completely

$(x + 3)(x - 2)$

So this equation in factored form is

$(x + 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)$
