Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

x² - 36 = 0 ← is a difference of squares and factors as

(x - 6)(x + 6) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

(b)

x² - 5x + 4 = 0

consider the product of the factors of the constant term (+ 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

the factors are - 1 and - 4 , since

- 1 × - 4 = + 4 and - 1 - 4 = - 5 , then

(x - 1)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

(c)

x² - 2x = 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x² - 2x - 3 = 0 ← in standard form

consider the product of the factors of the constant term (- 3) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

the factors are + 1 and - 3 , since

1 × - 3 = - 3 and 1 - 3 = - 2 , then

(x + 1)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

(d)

6x² - 11x - 10 = 0

consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 6 × - 10 = - 60 and sum = - 11

the factors are + 4 and - 15

use these factors to split the x- term

6x² + 4x - 15x - 10 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(3x + 2) - 5(3x + 2) = 0 ← factor out (3x + 2) from each term

(3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

3x + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = - 2 ⇒ x = - \frac{2}{3}

2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = \frac{5}{2}

How do you solve this system of equation?<br> 2x+4y=-4<br> 3x + 5y =-3
Annette [7]

Answer:

x = 4

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use substitution, elimination, or graphically.

Step 1: Rearrange first equation

2x + 4y = -4

2x = -4 - 4y

x = -2 - 2y

Step 2: Rewrite systems of equations

x = -2 - 2y

3x + 5y = -3

Step 3: Substitution

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

-6 - 6y + 5y = -3

-6 - y = -3

-y = 3

y = -3

Step 4: Find <em>x</em> using <em>y</em>

2x + 4(-3) = -4

2x - 12 = -4

2x = 8

x = 4

Graphically:

Use a graphing calc and analyze where the 2 lines intersect.
