Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x-5) 4x+20

Distribute.

6x-30 = 4x+20

Subtract 4x from each side.

6x-4x-30 = 4x-4x+20

Simplify.

2x-30=20

Add 30 to both sides.

2x-30+30 = 20+30

Simplify.

2x = 50

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 50/2

Simplify

x = 25

So, x = 25!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the solution to this equation?

6 * (x - 5) = 4x + 20

6x - 30 = 4x + 20

2x = 20 + 30

2x = 50

x = 50 : 2

x = 25

-------------------

check

6 * ( 25 - 5) = 4 * 25 + 20

6 * 20 = 100 + 20

120 = 120

the answer is good

When asked to factor the x^2-121 a student gives the answer (x-11)(x-11) what is wron with this answer?

Art [367]

Given expression is x² - 121

This is called Difference of Squared terms, we have a formula that is given as :-

a² - b² = (a - b) · (a + b)

Now using the above formula in the given expression, we get :-

x² - 121

x² - (11)²

here a = x and b = 11

x² - (11)² = (x - 11) · (x + 11)

but it says that student gave the answer as (x - 11) · (x - 11).

So, student's answer should be (x - 11) · (x + 11) instead of product of two (x - 11) terms.

Solve for x by cross multiplying then isolating the variable:
$\frac{9}{15}= \frac{x}{10}$ cross multiply
15x=90 Isolate the variable
x=6
Solve for y by cross multiplying then isolating the variable:
$\frac{9}{15} = \frac{6}{y}$ cross multiply
9y=90 Isolate the variable
y=10
