Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)

Distribute

1.5x + 6 -3 = 4.5x - 9

Combine like terms

1.5x +3 = 4.5x -9

Subtract 1.5x from each side

1.5x -1.5x +3 = 4.5x -1.5x-9

3 = 3x-9

Add 9 to each side

3+9 = 3x-9+9

12 =3x

Divide each side by 3

12/3 = 3x/3

4=x

Solve the quadratic equation for x. What is the product when the roots are multiplied? (x + 2)2 = 1 A) −3 B) −6 C) −9 D) 3
ehidna [41]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the quadratic equation, use the inverse operation to squaring. This will undo the exponent and allows x to be isolated. The inverse operation is the square root. This is called the square root property of equality.

(x + 2)² = 1

√(x+2)² = √1

(x+2) = ±1

x = 1 -2     and   x = -1 - 2

x = -1        and   x = -3

The product of the roots -1 and -3 is -1*-3 = 3

the parking space outside sky towers measures 2x-1 meters x+2 meters . what is rhe cost of cleaning the parking area if the clea
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Rs 100x² + 150x - 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the parking space = Length * Width

Area of the space = (2x-1)(x+2)

Expand

Area of the space = 2x² + 4x - x - 2

Area of the space = (2x²+3x - 2) sq. m

Since 1sq.m = Rs 50'

(2x²+3x - 2) sq. m= z

z = 50 (2x²+3x - 2)

z = 100x² + 150x - 100

hence the cost of the parking spsce is Rs.100x² + 150x - 100

The equation 4 ( x - 2 ) = 100 is a true equation for a particular value of x. Explain why 2 ( x - 2 ) = 50 is also true for the
KatRina [158]

Answer:

a) 4(x - 2) = 100

4x - 8 = 100

4x = 92

x = 23

b) 2(x - 2) = 50

2x - 4 = 50

2x = 46

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for x in both equations, we get the same value of x which makes that statement true.
