3/10x-1/5=-2

First we Add 1/5 to both sides

1/5+-2=-1.8

So our problem now becomes

3/10x1.8=-2
Now we have to divide both sides by 3/10

3/10/-2=-0.15


x=-0.15

Which equation has solutions of 6 and -6? x2 – 12x + 36 = 0 x2 + 12x – 36 = 0 x2 + 36 = 0 x2 – 36 = 0
Svetlanka [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

The equation that has solutions 6 and -6 is x^2 - 36 = 0

<u>Solution:</u>

We have to find which equation has the solutions 6 and -6.

We have been given three equations.

x^{2}-12 x+36=0  --- eqn 1

x^{2}+12 x-36=0 -- eqn 2

x^{2}-36=0  ---- eqn 3

The 6 and -6 to satisfy any of these equations they have to be the roots of the equation.

This means that when we substitute 6 and -6 in any of the equations and then solve them the answer on simplification should be 0.

This condition should individually be satisfied by both 6 and -6 for any one of the equations.

Now let us try and substitute 6 and -6 in eq1.

Now, substituting 6 in eq1.

62-12×6+36=0

Now we simply the equation to check is the LHS is equal to the RHS of the equation.  

LHS:

72-72=0

RHS:  0  

Since LHS=RHS it is the root of the equation.

Now we check if -6 satisfies eq1.

-62-12×-6+36=0

LHS:

72+72=144

RHS:  0

Hence LHS is not equal to RHS, -6 is not the root of eq1.

Similarly we check for eq2  

Checking for 6 and -6 we get

LHS is not equal to RHS hence this does not satisfy eq2.

Now in the same way we check for eq3

LHS=RHS for both 6 and -6 hence they are the solutions for eq3.

Hence the equation that has solutions 6 and -6 is x^2 - 36 = 0

Can someone just pls help me???

Answer:

<em>x=8</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write and equation for this. We will say that x is the unknown. Let's work backwards: 5 more than half the number. That is 1/2x+5. We will put that on one side. The other side is this: 15 less than 3 times the number. This is 3x-15. Then, we put it together: 3x-15 = 1/2x+5. First, subtract 5 from both sides. Then multiply both sides by two. You will get 6x-40 = x. Then add 40 to get 6x = x+40. Subtract x from the sides: 5x = 40. x=8

PLEASE HELP WITH #14 AND #7 PLEASE A.S.A.P !!!
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

7.) 16.7

Step-by-step explanation:

7). First you have to find the length of the line with the triangle that is at a 90 angle with the longest side of the triangle

Using the pythagrorem theorem a² + b² = c²

4² + b² = 5²

b² = 5² - 4²

b² = 25 - 16

b² = 9

√b² =√9

b = 3

next you do the same thing to find the missing segment of the longest side

3² + b² = 13²

b² = 169 - 9

b² = 160

b = √160 or  ≈ 12.7

12.7 + 4 = 16.7

so 16.7 is the length of that side
