Answer:
x = 16/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 14 -34 = 4x - 11x + 4x - 4
2x - 20 = -3x - 4
5x = 16
Answer:
11 1/3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2-7=4
subtract 4 from both sdies
2x^2-11=0
therefor
2x^2=11
divide by 2
x^2=5.5
square root both sdies
x=-2.345 or 2.345
Answer: 80 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write these as fractions and do cross multiplication with the numerator being the height of the object while the denominator being the length of the shadow:
5 * 128 = 8x
640 = 8x
80 = x
Thus, the height of the lighthouse is 80 feet tall.
Answer:
-3 , 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum = - 6
Product = -27
Factors = 3, -9
x² - 6x-27 = 0
x² + 3x - 9x - 9*3 = 0
x(x + 3) - 9(x + 3) = 0
(x + 3) (x - 9) = 0
x +3 = 0 ; x - 9 = 0
x = - 3 ; x = 9
Solution: x = -3 , 9
