2.5(10x - 16) = 5

2.5 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

10x - 16 = 5/2.5

10x - 16 = 2

16 is subtracting on the left, then it will add on the right

10x = 2 + 16

10x = 18

10 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

x = 18/10

x = 1.8

Answer:

It would quadruple it.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide by a fraction you first flip it then you multiply straight across. For example 3 / (1/4) you flip then multiply which gives you 3/1 * 4/1 = 12/1 which simplifies to 12

For what value of c does x^2−2x−c=4 have exactly one real solution?<br> PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Paul [167]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving all terms of the quadratic to one side, we have

$x^2-2x-(c+4)=0$ .

A quadratic has one real solution when the discriminant is equal to 0. In a quadratic $ax^2+bx+d$ , the discriminant is $\sqrt{b^2-4ad}$ .

(The discriminant is more commonly known as $\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$ , but I changed the variable since we already have a $c$ in the quadratic given.)

In the quadratic above, we have $a=1$ , $b=-2$ , and $d=-(c+4)$ . Plugging this into the formula for the discriminant, we have

$\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(-(c+4))$ .

Using the distributive property to expand and simplifying, the expression becomes

$\sqrt{4-4(-c-4)}=\sqrt{4+4c+16}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{20+4c}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{5+c}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=2\sqrt{c+5}.$
