\dfrac{x}{2.5}=\dfrac{x+2.4}{2.5+2}\\
\dfrac{x}{2.5}=\dfrac{x+2.4}{4.5}\\
4.5x=2.5(x+2.4)\\
4.5x=2.5x+6\\
2x=6\\

Solving the equation
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-(4y + 2) - (-3y - 6) = -1

Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>

  1. Distribute: -4y - 2 + 3y + 6 = -1
  2. Combine like terms: -y + 4 = -1
  3. Subtract 4 on both sides: -y = -5
  4. Divide both sides by -1: y = 5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in y to verify it's a solution.</em>

-(4(5) + 2) - (-3(5) - 6) = -1

-(20 + 2) - (-15 - 6) = -1

-22 - (-21) = -1

-22 + 21 = -1

-1 = -1

Pls help
solong [7]
Ok let’s solve it

5(x-2)^2-20=0

first let’s foil (x-2)

5(x^2-4x+4) -20=0

now distribute the 5

5x^2 -20x +20 -20 = 0

combine like terms

5x^2-20x=0

take the gcf

5x(x-4)=0

x=0, 4

solutions are (4,0) and (2, -20) because the original vertex form a(x-h)^2+k
