Answer:

Let the number be x

so, x/4 = x-3

x = 4(x-3)

x= 4x-12

x-4x = -12

-3x = -12

x= 12/3

x = 4

An equation is shown below:
IrinaK [193]
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
               -15      -15     subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
  ÷5             ÷5             divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
     +8    +8                   add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2  ÷2                          divide both sides by 3
x = 1

Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15             Correct! x=1

Given the polynomial 21x 4 + 3y - 6x 2 + 34 What polynomial must be subtracted from it to obtain 29x 2 - 7 ? What polynomial mus
fredd [130]

Answer:

1. 21x⁴+3y-35x² + 41

2. -21x⁴-3y+6x² + x

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding and subtracting polynomials , you can use the distributive property to add or subtract the coefficients of like terms.

1. The polynomial is 21x⁴ + 3y -6x² + 34

To obtain polynomial 29x² -7 , we must subtract some polynomial from it.

Let that polynomial be k.

So, 21x⁴ + 3y -6x² + 34 - k =  29x² -7

k = 21x⁴ + 3y - 6x² +34 - 29x² +7 = 21x⁴ + 3y - 35x² + 41

2. To obtain a first degree polynomial, let that polynomial be x +34

So, 21x⁴ + 3y - 6x² + 34 + K = x + 34

K = x + 34 - 21x⁴ -3y + 6x² - 34

  = -21x⁴ - 3y + 6x² + x
