Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the -3 to each term in the parentheses. Now, you have

-6x + 24 = 2x. Add 6x to both sides, and now you have 24= 8x. Divide both sides by 8, and now you get x=3.

If 32^2c= 8^c+7, what is the value of c

Leona [35]

$\bf 32^{2c}=8^{c+7}~~ \begin{cases} 32=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\\ \qquad 2^5\\ 8=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\\ \qquad 2^3 \end{cases}\implies (2^5)^{2c}=(2^3)^{c+7} \\\\\\ 2^{5(2c)}=2^{3(c+7)}\implies \stackrel{\textit{if the bases are the same, then so are the exponents}}{5(2c)=3(c+7)\implies 10c=3c+21} \\\\\\ 7c=21\implies c=\cfrac{21}{7}\implies c=3$

Determine the value of K that would make this expression a perfect square

Mumz [18]

Answer: k=9/4

Step-by-step explanation: We can do this by finding a number that adds up to 3 when multiplied by 2. The best way to do this is to use ((b^2)/4) which can usually find you the number for a perfect square based on b, which we have. So, 3^2 / 4 =9/4, meaning k=9/4. We can check:

>x^2 +3x +9/4

> (x+3/2)(x+3/2)

Perfect square.
