Distribute 1/4 to all terms within the parenthesis

9 - 5 = 4

1/4(16x + 60) = (16x + 60)/4 = 4x + 15

4 = 4x + 15

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Subtract 15 from both sides

4 = 4x + 15

4 (-15) = 4x + 15 (-15)

4 - 15 = 4x

-11 = 4x

Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides

(-11)/4 = (4x)/4

x = -11/4

hope this helps

The product of two consecutive positive even integers is 440. what are the integers

Natali [406]

1st integer: x
2nd integer: x+2

Multiply them: x(x+2)=440
X^2+2x-440=0
Use the quadratic formula
x=-22 or x=20
Since x must be a positive integer number, x=20.

Answer:
1st: 20.
2nd: 22

Solve the quadratic. x^2+8x+3=0

Reil [10]

Factor
find wht 2 numbers add to 8 and multiply to 3
none do

use quadratic formula which can be used when
ax^2+bx+c=0
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}}-4ac }{2a}$

a=1
b=8
c=3

x= $\frac{-8+/- \sqrt{8^{2}-4(1)(3)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{ -8+/- \sqrt{64-12} }{2}$
x= $\frac{ -8+/- \sqrt{52} }{2}$
x= $\frac{ -8+/- 2 \sqrt{13} }{2}$
x= $-4+/- \sqrt{13}$

x= $-4+ \sqrt{13}$ or x= $-4- \sqrt{13}$
aprox x=-7.60555 or x=-0.394449
