X=3,-2 you solve by using the quadratic formula
Likurg_2 [28]4 years ago
3 0

You can solve with many ways but I'll do this one instead. Move 12 to the left side and change from positive to negative.

2x^2-2x-12=0\\

Then divide by 2 whole equation.

\frac{2x^2-2x-12}{2}=\frac{0}{2}

Simplify, as we get  x^2-x-6=0

We can either use Quadratic Formula or Factoring the Polynomials. It depends but since the polynomial aren't that hard to factor because it doesn't have that many numbers in value. So using factoring will be faster.

From x^2-x-6=0 we can factor as -

(x-3)(x+2)=0\\x-3 =0, x+2=0\\x=3, x=-2\\(x=3,-2)#

Thus, the value of x is 3 or -2. So x = 3, -2 is the answer.

<em>Note that we can also use Quadratic Formula to solve the equation, however that will take longer than factoring then solve the equation.</em>

Becca hikes 9/10 mile in 5/3 hour.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(9/10 mile)/(5/3 hour) = 27/50 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are looking for the speed, then speed = distance/time

speed = (9/10 mile)/(5/3 hour)

speed = 9/10 ÷ 5/3 miles/hour

speed = 9/10 × 3/5 miles/hour

speed = 27/50 miles/hour

A farm has only chickens and pigs , Jason counted 140 legs in total and 440 legs. How many chickens are there
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

  60 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the 140 refers to the number animals (heads, noses, bodies, whatever). If all of those were chickens, there would be 280 legs. There are 160 legs more than that.

Since each pig that replaces a chicken adds 2 legs, there must be 160/2 = 80 pigs. That leaves 140 -80 = 60 chickens.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The slope-intercept form is y = 7x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: Perpendicular lines slope are negative reciprocals of each other.

y = -1/7x + 4.

Now you know the slope of the given line is -1/7.

So the slope of the perp line is 7/1 = 7 .  

Use the given point (-1, -4) and the perp slope = 7 into y =mx + b and solve for "b".

y = mx + b

-4 = 7(-1) + b

-4 = -7 + b

-4 + 7 = b

3 = b

The slope-intercept form is y = 7x + 3

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!!! PLEASE ANSWER :)<br> Explain your answer.
baherus [9]

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x-4)=5x+6

first get rid of the parentheses by multiplying the  2

6x-8 = 5x+6

put like terms on one side of the equation. Start with the 5x, move it to the left side

(6x-8)-5x = (5x+6)-5x

x-8 = 6


Again, put like terms on one side of the equation. Move the 8 to the right side

(x-8)+8 = 6+8

=> x = 14


B)

4x - 3 = 2(x-1)

Start again by getting rid of the parentheses to make it a clean equation... aka distribute the 2:

4x-3 = 2x - 2

Move the like terms to one side of the equation. Start with x.. move 2x to the left:

(4x-3)-2x = (2x-2)-2x

=> 2x-3 = -2

Move the like terms to one side of the equation.Now move the -3 to the other side:

(2x-3)+3 = -2+3

=> 2x=1

Lastly, divide by 2 on both sides to find out what x is:

(2x)/2=1/2

=> x = 1/2


..so no, Charlie was incorrect.

Find the value of x.​
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

x =  \frac{15}{8}

\\

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{10}{14}  =  \frac{x}{2x - 3 + x}  \\  \frac{10}{14}  =  \frac{x}{3x - 3}  \\ 10(3x - 3) = 14x \\ 30x - 30 = 14x \\ 30x - 14x = 30 \\ 16x = 30 \\ x =  \frac{30}{16}  \\ x =  \frac{15}{8}
