How do you solve 5x-2=8?

Mathematics

MariettaO [177]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2 = 8

get rid of 2 to get x by itself on the left side

5x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 (whatever u do to one side do to the other)

5x = 10

divide to get 1x (divide both sides by 5)

x = 10

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5×2=10-2=8

You subtract add two to both sides, giving you 5x=10

Divide the 10 by 5 and you get 2.

Use completing the aquare to solve for x in the equation (x+7)(x-9)=25​
Tema [17]

Answer:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(x - 9) (x + 7) = 25

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 2 x - 63 = 25

Add 63 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x = 88

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x + 1 = 89

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1)^2 = 89

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)
