Answer:
x=17
Step-by-step explanation:
53+(2x+3)=90
630 red marbles
420 yellow marbles
210 purple marbles
because 1260 x 1/2 = 630, 1260 x 1/3 = 420, 1260 x 1/6 = 210
rewrite the equation set = to 0.
x^2 + 5x - 8 = 0
The quadratic will not factor so you have to use the quadratic formula.
x = (-b + - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
x = (5 + - sqrt(25 - 4* 1* -8))/2
x = (5 + - sqrt 57)/2
The x2is not the same as 2x. It is x^2. X tot he second power which makes the problem a quadratic equation. You cannot combine the terms x^2 and -5x because they so not have the same power.
(x + 8)(x - 6)
to factorise consider the factors of - 48 which sum to + 2
These are + 8 and - 6 thus
x² + 2x - 48 = (x + 8)(x - 6)
