Answer:
what values???!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: In the last steps, instead of multiply each side by 3, he has to divide each side by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, Tobin makes the mistake in the last steps.
3(x-1.25) = 11.25
3x-3.75= 11.25
3x-3.75+3.75= 11.25+3.75
3x = 15
Until this step is the work ok.
Now, instead of multiply each side by 3, he has to divide each side by 3:
So:
3x /3 = 15/3
x = 5
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
Hey there!
2x + 2 = -4(x - 5)
2x + 2 = -4(x) - 4(-5)
2x + 2 = -4x + 20
ADD 4x to BOTH SIDES
2x + 2 + 4x = -4x + 20 + 4x
SIMPLIFY IT!
6x + 2 = 20
SUBTRACT 18 to BOTH SIDES
6x + 2 - 2 = 20 - 2
CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 0
KEEP: 20 - 2 because it help solve for the x-value
NEW EQUATION: 6x = 20 - 2
SIMPLIFY IT!
6x = 18
DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES
6x/6 = 18/6
CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1
KEE: 18/6 because it help solve for the x-value
NEW EQUATION: x = 18/6
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 3
Therefore, your answer is: x = 3
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

The answer is <span>a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.
(x - a)</span>² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0
Our equation is x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0
Thus:
8x = 2ax and a² - b = 13
Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13 ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3
Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3
