Answer:

$x=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If BD bisects angle ABC

then

m∠ABD=m∠DBC

substitute the given values

$(2x+7)\°=(4x-9)\°$

Solve for x

$4x-2x=7+9$

$2x=16$

$x=8$

Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following equation:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - 2x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 } - x$

to do so isolate -x to the left hand side and change its sign:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - 2x + x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 }$

simplify addition:

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - x = \sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 }$

square both sides:

$\rm\displaystyle (5 - x {)}^{2} = (\sqrt{ {2x}^{2} + x - 1 } {)}^{2}$

simplify square of the right hand side:

$\rm\displaystyle (5 - x {)}^{2} = {2x}^{2} + x - 1$

use (a-b)²=a²-2ab+b² to expand the left hand side:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} - 10x + 25= {2x}^{2} + x - 1$

swap the equation:

$\rm\displaystyle {2x}^{2} + x - 1 = {x}^{2} - 10x + 25$

isolate the right hand side expression to the left hand side and change every sign:

$\rm\displaystyle {2x}^{2} + x - 1 - {x}^{2} + 10x - 25 = 0$

simplify:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} + 11x - 26= 0$

rewrite the middle term as 13x-2x:

$\rm\displaystyle {x}^{2} + 13x - 2x - 26= 0$

factor out x:

$\rm\displaystyle x({x}^{} + 13)- 2x - 26= 0$

factor out -2:

$\rm\displaystyle x({x}^{} + 13)- 2(x + 13)= 0$

group:

$\rm\displaystyle (x- 2)(x + 13)= 0$

by Zero product property we obtain:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x- 2 = 0\\ x + 13= 0 \end{cases}$

solve for x:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x = 2\\ x = - 13 \end{cases}$

to check for extraneous solutions we can define the domain of equation recall that a square root of a function is always greater than or equal to 0 therefore

$\rm\displaystyle 5 - x \geq0$

solve the inequality for x:

$\rm\displaystyle x \leqslant 5$

since 2 and -13 is less than 5 both solutions are valid for x hence,

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}x _{1} = 2\\ x_{2} = - 13 \end{cases}$

and we're done!

The amount of interest earned from a savings account was $580. What was the interest rate if $1432 was deposited 6 years before

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving our equation

r = 580 / ( 1432 × 6 ) = 0.06750466

r = 0.06750466

converting r decimal to a percentage

R = 0.06750466 * 100 = 6.7505%/year

The interest rate required to

accumulate simple interest of $ 580.00

from a principal of $ 1,432.00

over 6 years is 6.7505% per year.
