The table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3:

1 answer:

5 0

First add 2 to both sides, next add 2 + 3 to get 5, next break down the equation into two problems which would be 2x - 5 = 5 and -(2x - 5) = 5, NOT 2x - 5 = -5, so this is the FIRST incorrect step, while step 4 is incorrect because its suppose to be 2x = 5 not 10, that's the second step, not first so answer is:

Answer: A) Step 3.

Create an equation with a solution closest to 0 using digits 1 to 9

_x + _ = _x + _

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

_x + _ = _x + _

Required

Fill in the gap using 1 to 9 to give a result close to 0

First, you have to determine what kind of numbers that are close to 0;

In this case, I'll work with -0.4 to 0.4 because the number in this range approximate to 0;

Next, is to fill in the gaps using trial by error method

5x + 2 = 2x + 3

Checking the above expression

Collect Like Terms

$5x - 2x = 3 - 2$

$3x = 1$

Divide equation by 2

$x = 0.33$ (Approximated)

Another trial is

6x + 8 = 2x + 7

Checking the above expression

Collect Like Terms

$6x - 2x = 7 - 8$

$4x = -1$

Divide equation by 4

$x = -0.25$ (Approximated)

I'll stop here but note that, there are more expressions that can fill in the gaps

Answer:

(3 * 100,000) + (0 * 10,000) + (4 * 1000) + (0 * 100) + (5 * 10) + (6 * 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to represent the value of this number using expanded notation

Mathematically, that will be;

(3 * 100,000) + (0 * 10,000) + (4 * 1000) + (0 * 100) + (5 * 10) + (6 * 1)

= 300,000 + 0 + 4000 + 0 + 50 + 6

= 304,057

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 127

5.80A + 4.25B = 657.55

Solve with substitution.

5.80A + 4.25(127 − A) = 657.55

5.80A + 539.75 − 4.25A = 657.55

1.55A = 117.80

A = 76

Solve the equation x^2-4x+85=0

lara [203]

Can't factor
use quadratic
for
ax^2+bx+c=0
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

given
1x^2-4x+85=0
a=1
b=-4
c=85

x= $\frac{-(-4)+/- \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(85)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{4+/- \sqrt{16-340} }{2}$
x= $\frac{4+/- \sqrt{-324} }{2}$
x= $\frac{4+/- (\sqrt{-1})(\sqrt{324}) }{2}$
remember that √-1=i
x= $\frac{4+/- i(\sqrt{324}) }{2}$
x= $\frac{4+/- i(18) }{2}$
x=2+/-9i

x=2+9i or x=2-9i
