Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)
Answer:
x = 2.5 or 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 3/4.
|5 -x| = 10/4 = 2.5
This resolves to two equations:
- 5 -x = 2.5 ⇒ x = 5 -2.5 = 2.5
- 5 -x = -2.5 ⇒ x = 5 +2.5 = 7.5
The solutions are x = 2.5 or 7.5.
56 is the answer to the equation
C=18*13
C=234
You just have to multiply
Steps to simplify:
(2x + 3)(x - 7)
~Use FOIL to multiply
(2x * x) + (2 * -7) + (3 * x) + (3 * -7)
~Simplify
=2x² - 14x + 3x - 21
~Combine Like Terms
2x² + (-14x + 3x) - 21
~Simplify
2x² - 11x - 21 (Option 2)
Best of Luck!
