Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3
6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Factor out the common term; 3
3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Cancel out 3
2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2
2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2
Factor out the common term; 2
2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2
Cancel out 2
2x - 5 = 5x - 2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x
Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
Add 2 to both sides
-5 + 2 = 3x
Simplify -5 + 2 to -3
-3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
- 1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
Answer:A
Step-by-step explanation:
-8=a(2+5)^2 + 41
-8=a x 7^2 + 41
-8=a x 7 x 7 +41
-8=49a+41
Collect like terms
-8-41=49a
-49=49a
Divide both sides by 49
-49/49=49a/49
-1=a
a=-1

Solve the incomplete quadratic equation:
Solution set:
S = {0, 8}.
I hope this helps. =)
Group together the like terms (plus 2x with 2x) (subtract 10 by 6)
4x+4=36
Move plus four to the other side as a negative
4x=32
Divide both sides by 4
32 divided by 4 is 8
Therefore, x is equal to 8
