The values of x are x = -0.77 and x = 3.27

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

To calculate the value of x. we start by using the following equivalent ratio

2x : (3.5 + x + 1.5) = x + 0.5 : x + 1.5

Evaluate the like terms

2x : (5 + x) = x + 0.5 : x + 1.5

Express the ratio as a fraction

2x/5 + x = x + 0.5/x + 1.5

Cross multiply

2x(x + 1.5) = (5 + x)(x + 0.5)

Open the brackets

2x^2 + 3x = 5x + 2.5 + x^2 + 0.5x

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 - 2.5x - 2.5 = 0

Using a graphing calculator, we have

x = -0.77 and x = 3.27

Hence, the values of x are x = -0.77 and x = 3.27

zimovet [89]
Although you didn’t list any equations, here is the correct one:

15 + 5x = 25

1.5 twice a day makes it so it’s 3 miles total. Thus, you need to multiply that by 5 to get the total amount in one week.

x will solve for each evening per day.

Hope this helps!

2(4w-1)=-10(w-3)+4 help
solniwko [45]

Answer:

w = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4w-1)=-10(w-3)+4

2*4w + 2*-1 = (10*w + 10*-3) + 4

8w - 2 = 10w - 30 + 4

8w - 2 = 10w - 26

26 - 2 = 10w - 8w

24 = 2w

w = 24/2

w = 12

Check:

2((4*12)-1) = 10(12-3) + 4

2(48-1) = 10(9) + 4

2*47 = 90 + 4 = 94

Write the algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of two numbers.
V125BC [204]

The algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of the two numbers, supposing the two numbers to be a and b, is

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).

An algebraic expression is a combination of terms, where the terms are separated using mathematical operators like plus (+), minus (-), multiply (*), and divide (/).

The terms are combinations of numerals and variables.

Variables are represented alphanumerically, which can hold any value as per the expression they are used in.

In the question, we are asked to write the algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of two numbers.

We assume the two numbers to be a and b respectively.

Thus, we are asked to write an expression for the difference between the square of a and square of b, that is, we are asked to write an expression for a² - b².

We know that a² - b² is an identity, which can be shown as (a + b)(a - b).

Thus, the algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of the two numbers, supposing the two numbers to be a and b, is a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).
