Answer:
- 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
- 5x + 4 = 20
- 5x = 20 - 4
- 5x = 16
x = 16 / - 5
x = - 3.2
44.
The closer it gets to -19, the closer the number goes to 44. It never hits it exactly though, but based off the trend (43.95, 43.995, 43.9995) we can tell that it gets closer to 44 each time.
Hope this helps! (:
Simply distribute the -3 across the b and -7.
-3(b - 7) = (-3 * b) + (-3 * -7) = -3b + 21
Hope this was helpful, if it wasn't just drop me a DM explaining what didn't make sense.
If we were to foil
after experieence
we know
ax²+bx+c=0
and
in form
(ax+b)(cx+d)=0
if we expand it, we get
acx²+bcx+adx+bd=0
or
(ac)x²+(bc+ad)x+(bd)=0
compare to
ax²+bx+c=0
we notice that the middle terms (x terms) are
b=(bc+ad)
so
in form
(2x-1)(1x+5)
b=bc+ad=(-1*1+2*5)=-1+10=9
b=9
or you could just expand it
