<span>2x + 5 = 27
subtract 5 to both sides
2x + 5 - 5 = 27 - 5
simplify
2x = 22
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 22/2
simplify
x = 11
answer is </span><span>11 (second choice)

hope that helps
Since the problem is 2x^2-5xy-y^3 we first have to plug in what the x and y stands for, once you do that your problem should look like this:
2(-3)^2- 5(-3)(-2)- (-2)^3
Now take the parentheses away and when you do that your signs change.
2x3^2-5x(-3)x(-2)-(-2)^3
do it again with -5x(-3)x(-2)
2x3^2-30-(-2)^3
now do this with (-2)^3
2x3^2-30-(-8)
Now evaluate the power
3^2 becomes 9
2x9-30-(-8)
then change -(-8) to a positive since two negatives make a positive
2x9-30+8
Now multiply the numbers 2x9
18-30+8
Then do 18-30 which equals -12 then add 8
Now you are left with your answer:
<u>-4</u>
Hope this helps! :3
The geometric mean of two numbers x and y is √(xy).
So, if the geometric mean of 3 and a is 9 =>
9 = √(3a)
=> 9^2 = 3a
=> a = 9^2 / 3
a = 81 / 3
a = 27
Answer: the value of a is 27.
The answer is 22.94 because of reasons and math and decimals and stuffy I'm not going to go in to detail somebody else can because I'm not with the math stuff
Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14
