Answer:
1) 5 2) 6 3) 1.25 or -1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x^2 - 25 = 0
x^2 - 25 = 0
First, add 25 to both sides!
x^2 = 25
Now square root both sides.
x = 5
2. (x-2)^2 = 16
First, square root both sides.
(x-2) = 4
Add 2 on both sides.
(x) = 6
x = 6
3. Quadratic Formula = -b ±
/ 2a
Substitute in:
-6 ±
/ 2(2)
-6±
/ 4
Both forms:
-6 +
/ 4
5 / 4 = 1.25
Negative:
-6 - 1 / 4
-7 / 4 = -1.75
Answer:
5 / (x+4) x ≠2 x≠-4
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x-2)/(x-2)(x+4)
The denominator cannot be zero so x ≠2 x≠-4
Cancel like terms in the numerator and denominator
5 / (x+4) x ≠2 x≠-4
First you need to combine like terms
7-3x= 5x+13
step 1 add 3x
7=8x+13
step 2 subteact 13
-6=8x
step 3 divide both sides by two
x=-3/4
