This is a proportion. What is the value of X?
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 15 or x = -
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross- multiplying gives
(14x + 6)(17x + 5) = 9x(27x + 11) ( expanding factors )
238x² + 172x + 30 = 243x² + 99x
rearrange into standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0
5x² - 73x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form
consider the factors of the product 5 × - 30 = - 150 which sum to the coefficient of the x-term (- 73 )
the factors are - 75 and + 2
Use these factors to split the middle term
5x² - 75x + 2x - 30 = 0 ( factor by grouping )
5x(x - 15) + 2(x - 15) = 0 ← take out the factor (x - 15)
(x - 15)(5x + 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 15
5x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = -

Answer: No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
-10x-16=14
-16x-6=14
-10x-16=-16x-6
-10x+16x-16=-16x+16x-6
6x-16=-6
6x-16+16=-6+16
6x=10
x=10/6
x=5/3
-16(5/3)-6=
-80/3-6*3/3=
-80/3-18/3=
(-80-18)/3=-98/3 14
Hence, there is no solution
