You would first do distribution
5(x+4) would give you 5x+20 now that you have that combine like terms giving you 5x+15 because 20-5 or -5+20 is equal to 15

A) distribute the 5 to the x and 4 in parenthesis. this gives you (-5 + 5x + 20)

b) combine -5 and 20, the two constants. this gives you (5x + 15)

Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that num

stepladder [879]

Question:

Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that number and 26.

What is the solution set of this problem?

Answer:

$x \leq -21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent the number with x</em>

So:

$5 * (x + 27) \geq 6 * (x + 26)$

Required

Determine the solution set

$5 * (x + 27) \geq 6 * (x + 26)$

Open Both Brackets

$5 * x + 5 * 27 \geq 6 *x + 6 * 26$

$5x + 135 \geq 6x + 156$

Collect Like Terms

$5x - 6x \geq 156-135$

$- x \geq 21$

Multiply both sides by -1

$x \leq -21$

Hence, the solution set is $x \leq -21$

x^4 + 9x^3 + 15x^2 + 9x + 14

Split 15x^2 into 14x^2 + x^2

x^4 + 9x^3 + 14x^2 + x^2 + 9x + 14 factor as

x^2 [x^2 + 9x + 14 ] + 1 [ x^2 + 9x + 14 ] take out GCF

[ x^2 + 1 ] [ x^2 + 9x + 14 ]

[ x^2 + 1 ] [ x + 7 ] [ x + 2 ]
