Answer:
2 - 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer is in the problem:
2 less than = 2 minus a number ( 2- )
five times a number = 5x ( we don't know what number five is being multiplied by, so we put a variable)
These ratios are not proportional.
Explanation:
If the ratio 8:32 were simplified, it would equal 1:4 because they can both be divided by 8. But since 16 x 4 does not equal 72, they cannot be divided by 4 to make a simplified ratio such as the first example.
Hope I helped, and good luck!
if we're factoring you can use the AC method. A multiplied by C is 24. and 4x6 is 24.
(x+4)(x+6) is your answer
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation: 7+5
Answer: x" = 5.69
Step-by-step explanation:
The graphic solution is attached.
Verifying the solution:
Existence condition: x > 0
2x - 4 = √x + 5
√x =2x - 4 - 5
√x =2x - 9 (²)
x = (2x - 9)²
x = 4x² - 36x + 81
4x² - 36x - x + 81 = 0
4x² - 37x + 81 = 0
Δ = -37² - 4.4.81 = 1369 - 1296 = 73
x = 37 ±√73/8
x' = 3.55
x" = 5.69
checking:
2*3.55 - 4 = 3.1
√3.55 + 5 = 6.88 Its not the same ∴ 3.55 is not a solution
2*5.69 - 4 = 7.39
√5.69 + 5 = 7.39 ∴ it's the only solution
