To answer this question, you need to multiply the number inside the bracket first. Then you can move the number to the right side of the equal sign and keep the x on the left side of the equal sign. The step would be like this
2(x – 5) - 6x= -22(2x - 10) - 6x = -222x - 6x = -22 +10-4x= -12x= -12/-4x=3
Hope this helps!!!
So the two possible original temperatures would be either -9 or 9.
The measurement should be 130 according to my calculations
Answer:
Q1) (x+7)² = 9
x = -10, -4
Q2) (x-8)² = 144
x = -4, 20
Q3) (x-1)² = 81
x = -8, 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Q1) x² + 14x + 49 = 9
x² + 2(x)(7) + 7² = 9
(x + 7)² = 9
x + 7 = +/- sqrt(9)
x + 7 = 3
x = -4
x + 7 = -3
x = -10
Q2) x² - 16x + 64 = 144
x² - 2(x)(8) + 8² = 144
(x - 8)² = 144
x - 8 = +/- sqrt(144)
x - 8 = 12
x = 20
x - 8 = -12
x = -4
Q3) x² - 2x + 1 = 81
x² - 2(x)(1) + 1² = 81
(x - 1)² = 81
x - 1 =+/- sqrt(81)
x - 1 = 9
x = 10
x - 1 = -9
x = -8
P ( x ) = x³ - 4 x² + 3 x - 12 =
= x² ( x - 4 ) +3 ( x - 4 ) = ( x - 4 ) · ( x² + 3 )
x - 4 = 0, x = 4
x² + 3 = 0, x² = - 3 ( there is no real solution )
