Answer:
a. x=0
b x=-8
c x=49/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a. x2+4=4
subtract 4 from both sides
x2=0
multiply
2x=0
divide by 2
x=0
b x2 + 16 = 0
multiply
2x+16=0
subtract both sides by 16
2x=-16
divide by 2
x=-8
c x2 − 49 = 0
multiply
2x-49=0
add 49 to both sides
2x=49
divide both sides by 2
x=49/2
The speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.
Let the speed of one bicyclist=x mph
Let the speed of the other bicyclist=(x+3) mph
Hence:
Speed of one bicyclist:
3x+3(x+3)+2=98
3x+3x+9+2=98
6x=87
Divide both side by 6x
x=87/6
x=14.5 mph
Speed of the other bicyclist:
x+3 mph
14.5 mph+3 mph
=17.5 mph
Inconclusion the speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.

Probability of rolling a sum of 9 or a sum that is even from two number cubes is
11/18
Explanation:
When a dice is rolled there are different ways in which
9. can be obtained, which are (3,6) or (4,5) or (5,4) or (6,3). 4 options. As in all there are
6⋅6=36 options, probability is 4/36 or 1/9.
For getting an even number as sum, we can have (1,1) or (1.3) or (1,5) or (2,2) or (2,4) or (2,6) or (3,1) or (3,3) or (3,5) or (4,2) or (4,4) or (4,6) or (5,1) or (5,3) or (5,5) or (6,2) or (6,4) or (6,6) 18 options, probability is 18/36 or 1/2.
Note that the two events (getting 9 or even sum) are mutually exclusive, the probabilities can be just added i.e. combined probability is
1/9+1/2=2+9/18i.e. 11/18
5x-16 = 4(x-8)-3x
first expand what is in parenthesis
4(x-8) = 4x-32
so now you have 5x-16 = 4x-32-3x
subtract 3x from 4x on the right side of equation 4x-3x = x
5x-16 = x -32
subtract 1x from each side to get
4x-16 = -32
add 16 to both sides to get 4x=-16
x = -16/4 = -4
x=-4
