2(x-2)=6

2x - 4 = 6 (distribute property)

Add 4 to both sides

2x - 4 +4 = 6 + 4

Simplify

2x = 10

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 10/2

Simplify

x =5

3x^2 – 8x + 5 = 5x^2

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x^2 -8x +5 = 5x^2\\\\5x^2 - 3x^2 + 8x -5 =0\\\\2x^2 +8x -5 = 0\\\\$

a = 2, b = 8, c = -5

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{8^2 - ( 4 \times 2 \times (-5))} }{2 \times 2}\\\\x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{64 +40} }{4}\\\\x = \frac{-8 + \sqrt{64 +40} }{4} \ , \ x = \frac{-8 - \sqrt{64 +40} }{4}\\\\x = \frac{-8 + \sqrt{104} }{4} \ , \ x = \frac{-8 - \sqrt{104} }{4}\\\\x = \frac{-8 + \sqrt{4 \times 26} }{4} \ , \ x = \frac{-8 - \sqrt{4 \times 26} }{4}\\\\x = \frac{-8 +2 \sqrt{26} }{4} \ , \ x = \frac{-8 - 2\sqrt{26} }{4}\\\\$

$x = \frac{-4 + \sqrt{26} }{2} \ , \ x = \frac{-4 - \sqrt{26} }{2}$

Which is larger? a or -a

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a. a is bigger than -a

b. a is equal to -a

c. a is less than -a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say a = 2

If a > 0, 2 > -2

If a = 0, 0 = -0; -0 and 0 are the same

Let's say a = -1

If a < 0, -1 ? -(-1)

-1 < 1
