Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x-3)=-25

Divide each side by -5

-5/-5(x-3)=-25/-5

x-3 = 5

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 5+3

x = 8

Answer:

$x = - 5.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 5(x - 3) = - 25 \\ - 5x + 3 = - 25 \\ - 5x = - 25 - 3 \\ - 5x = - 28 \\ \frac{ - 5x}{ - 5} = \frac{ - 28}{ - 5} \\ x = - 5.6$

Solve 0=4x^2+12x+9 using the quadratic formula.

MAXImum [283]

The quadratic formula is $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$ . With the values from this equation plugged in, it looks like this:

$x = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{12^2 - 4(4)(9)} }{2(4)} \\ \\ x = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{144 - 144} }{8} \\ \\ x = \frac{-12}{8} \\ \\ x = - \frac{3}{2}$

The solution is x = - 3/2
