Answer:

x = 2 - 5\sqrt{3}, x = 2 + 5\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 4x = 71

to complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 = 71 + 4

(x - 2)² = 75 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 2 = ± \sqrt{75} = ± 5\sqrt{3} ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 2 ± 5\sqrt{3}

then

x = 2 - 5\sqrt{3} , x = 2 + 5\sqrt{3}

5x+20y=4<br> x=-4y+1<br><br> Solve for x/y
Andrews [41]

Hi there!


Looks like a lot of work is going on here.


Let's start by solving this equation for the x.


5x + 20y = 4


Step 1) Add -20y to both sides.


5x + 20y + - 20y = 4 - 20y 5x = -20y + 4


Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.


\frac{5x}{5}  = \frac{-20y + 4}{5}


x = -4y +  \frac{4}{5}


Final Answer:


x = -4y +  \frac{4}{5}


Now, let's solve for y.


Step 1) Add -5x to both sides.


5x + 20y + - 5x = 4 + - 5x 20y = -5x + 4


Step 2) Divide both sides by 20.


\frac{20y}{20} =  \frac{-5x + 4}{20}


y =  \frac{-1}{4} x +  \frac{1}{5}


Final Answer:


y =  \frac{-1}{4} x +  \frac{1}{5}


Hope this helps! :D


Hint - When you have two variables in an equation, and you want to solve for one, the other will end up in your answer. :)

Arrange the steps to solve the equation square root x+3 - square root 2x-1=-2
stiv31 [10]

Answer:x=31.4919

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1:isolate a square root on the left hand side√x+3=√2x-1-2

Step2:eliminate the radicals on the left hand side

Raise both sides to the second power

√x+3)^2=(√2x-1-2)^2

After squaring

x+3=2x-1+4-4-4√2x-1

Step3:get the remaining radicals by itself

x+3=2x-1+4-4√2x-1

Isolate radical on the left hand side

4√2x-1=-x-3+2x-1+4

4√2x-1=x

Step4:eliminate the radicals on the left hand side

Raise both side to the second power

(4√2x-1)^2=x^2

After squaring

32x-16=x^2

Step 5:solve the quadratic equation

x^2-32x-16

This equation has two real roots

x1=32+√960/2=31.4919

x2=32-√960/2=0.5081

Step6:check that the first solution is correct

Put in 31.4919 for x

√31.4919+3=√2•31.4919-1-2

√34.492=5.873

x=31.4919

Step7:check that the second solution is correct

√x+3=√2x-1-2

Put in 0.5081 for x

√0.5081+3=√2•0.5081-1-2

√3.508=-1.873

1.873#-1.873

One solution was found

x=31.4919

Which order pair is a solution of this equation. 5x+y=-25
crimeas [40]

Answer:

(-5,0) or (0,-25) is another solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you have a list of choices? If not, you could choose random choices for x and y to determine if they are solutions. Start by letting y = 0. We see that x = -5, so (-5, 0) is a solution to this equation. In fact, it represents the x-intercept of this line. Now, let x = 0. We now see that y = -25, so (0, -25) is another solution to the equation of this line. This coordinate pair is the y-intercept of the line. Try using other values of x and y to see if you can come up with other solutions to this equation.
