How to do 2(x-5)-8=20

Mathematics

Answer:

<em>x = 19</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2 on the left side.

2(x - 5) - 8 = 20

2x - 10 - 8 = 20

Combine like terms on the left side.

2x - 18 = 20

Add 18 to both sides.

2x = 38

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 19

Answer:

Solution for 2(x-5)-8=20 equation:

Simplifying

2(x + -5) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

2(-5 + x) + -8 = 20

(-5 * 2 + x * 2) + -8 = 20

(-10 + 2x) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

-10 + -8 + 2x = 20

Combine like terms: -10 + -8 = -18

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '18' to each side of the equation.

-18 + 18 + 2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0

0 + 2x = 20 + 18

2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: 20 + 18 = 38

2x = 38

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 19

Simplifying

x = 19

Tran is solving the quadratic equation 2x2 – 4x – 3 = 0 by completing the square. His first four steps are shown in the table.
natulia [17]

The solution to the quadratic equation 2x² - 4x - 3 = 0 is x = 1 ± √2.5

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Solving the polynomial using completing the square:

2x² - 4x - 3 = 0

First divide through by 2:

x² - 2x - 3/2 = 0

add 3/2 to both sides:

x² - 2x - 3/2 + 3/2 = 0 + 3/2

x² - 2x = 3/2

add the square of half the coefficient x to both sides:

x² - 2x + 1 = 3/2 + 1

(x - 1)² = 2.5

taking square root:

x - 1 = ±√2.5

x = 1 ± √2.5

The solution to the quadratic equation 2x² - 4x - 3 = 0 is x = 1 ± √2.5

The equation of a line is -6x-2y=-18<br> What is the x-intercept of the line?
Fed [463]

 -6x - 2y = -18

-6x - 2(0) = -18

   -6x - 0 = -18

        -6x = -18

         -6      -6

           x = 3

hope this helps :)

The temperature at a point (x, y, z) is given by T(x, y, z) = 300e−x2 − 3y2 − 7z2 where T is measured in °C and x, y, z in meter
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Rate of change 24^{\circ}C per meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

T(x,y,z)=300e-x_{2}-3y_{2}-7z_{2}

Then,

T_{x_2}=-1, T_{y_2}=-3, T_{z_2}=-7

Change of temperature at the point say, (x,y,z)=(2,-1,3) along the direction say, (u,v,w)=(6,-4,6) is,

\Big[uT_{x_2}+vT_{y_2}+wT_{z_2}\Big]_{(x,y,z)}

=(6\times -1)+((-4)\times (-3))+(3\times 6)

=24

Hence the rate of change  of temperature is 24^{\circ}C per meter.
