Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring will reveal the solution. So we divide the equation by the greatest common factor of the terms and use that factor as the coefficient. In this case the greatest common factor is just x.
2x^2+5x
x(2x+5) so the equation will equal zero when either of those expressions is zero because zero times anything is zero. x=0 and x=-5/2
Answer: x = 7
`Step-by-step explanation:
Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 cm 72 cm
----------- = -----------
3x - 20 56 cm
Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²
Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:
3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7
Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.
55,000 + 2,500x = 62,000 + 2,000x
subtract 55,000 from both sides
2,500x = 7,000 + 2,000x
now subtract 2,000x from both sides
500x = 7,000
x= 14 years
Answer:
c) (-3s) - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
(-5s) + 2s - 9
-5s + 2s - 9 <== combine like terms
-3s - 9
Therefore, our answer is c.
Hope this helps!
