Answer:

\large \text{$x_1$}=-\dfrac{7}{4}, \large \text{$x_2$}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 8x² + 10x - 7 = 0

<u>When factoring trinomials of the form ax² + bx + c</u>:

  • multiply the leading coefficient and the last term.
  • find the product factors that add to give you the coefficient of the middle term.
  • rewrite the polynomial with those factors replacing the middle term.

1. Split the middle term:

⇒ 8 × -7 = -56 [multiply the leading coefficient and the last term]

⇒ 14, -4 [find the product factors that add to the middle term's coefficient]

⇒ 8x² + 14x - 4x - 7 = 0 [rewrite with those factors replacing the middle term.]

2. Factor by grouping:

⇒ 8x² + 14x - 4x - 7 = 0 [factor out 2x]

⇒ 2x(4x + 7) - 4x - 7 = 0 [factor out -1 or the negative sign]

⇒ 2x(4x + 7) -1(4x + 7) = 0 [factor out 4x + 7]

⟹ (4x + 7)(2x - 1) = 0

3. Separate into 2 cases:

  1. 4x + 7 = 0
  2. 2x - 1 = 0

 

<u><em>Case 1:</em></u>

⇒ 4x + 7 = 0 [subtract 7 from both sides]

⇒ 4x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7

⇒ 4x = -7 [divide both sides by 4]

⇒ 4x ÷ 4 = -7 ÷ 4

⟹ x = \bold{-\dfrac{7}{4}}

<u><em>Case 2:</em></u>

⇒ 2x - 1 = 0 [subtract 1 from both sides]

⇒ 2x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

⇒ 2x = 1 [divide both sides by 2]

⇒ 2x ÷ 2 = 1 ÷ 2

⟹ x = \bold{\dfrac{1}{2}}

Solutions:

\large \text{$x_1$}=-\dfrac{7}{4}, \large \text{$x_2$}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Answer:

x =  -  \frac{7}{4}  \:  \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

8 {x}^{2}  + 14x - 4x - 7 = 0 \\ 2x(4x + 7) - (4x + 7) = 0 \\ (4x + 7)(2x - 1) = 0

kirill [66]
The equation should look like :
[H+] = (1-a)(x) + (a)(y)
Where:
5.8 = -log [H+]
5.0 = -log x 
6.9 = -log y 
(1-a) = proportion of x
<span>a = proportion of y
so calculating a will give you the result of how many ounces are required</span>

Shane went bowling with his friends. The bowling alley charges $20 for an hour of group bowling plus a fee to rent each pair of
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

4x+20=31

Step-by-step explanation:

So one hour of bowling is 20 dollars and they bowled for one hour hence the 1x20 which is equal to 20. That is the base coast we add to the variable of x that is the cost of renting one pair of shoes. And since they rented 4 pairs of shoes you multiply x by 4 to get 4x. Add the 20 dollars they paid to bowl and it is 4x+20. They paid 31 dollars in total so equal the equation to 31. 4x+20=31. Solution is $2.75 per pair of shoes.
