Here is one way to solve for x.
Step 1) 2x^2-7=9
Step 2) 2x^2-7+7=9+7
Step 3) 2x^2=16
Step 4) (2x^2)/2=16/2
Step 5) x^2=8
Step 6) sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)
Step 7) |x|=sqrt(8)
Step 8) x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)
-------------------------------------
Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.
Step 1) Original equation
Step 2) Add 7 to both sides
Step 3) Combine like terms
Step 4) Divide both sides by 2
Step 5) Simplify
Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"
Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x
Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.
-------------------------------------
The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)
Answer:
-3y^2 + y + 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms.
-3y+4y = 1y or "y"
Add "y" back into the equation.
-3y^2 + y + 100
The equation cannot be simplified any further.
I hope this helped!
You have to isolate the (a) so you multiply the 2/3 by 3/2 and you have to do that to the right side. So -24 times 3/2 equals to -36. Therefore, a=-36.
2 x -6 equals 0. add 6 to both sides. divide both sides by two. x equals 3
