2-3x=8 what does x equal?

2 answers:

7 0

If you would like to solve the equation 2 - 3 * x = 8 for x, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2 - 3 * x = 8
-3 * x = 8 - 2
-3 * x = 6 /(-3)
x = 6 / (-3)
x = -2

Result: x equals to -2.

The correct answer is C.

You can tell this by factoring the equation to get the zeros. To start, pull out the greatest common factor.

f(x) = x^4 + x^3 - 2x^2

Since each term has at least x^2, we can factor it out.

f(x) = x^2(x^2 + x - 2)

Now we can factor the inside by looking for factors of the constant, which is 2, that add up to the coefficient of x. 2 and -1 both add up to 1 and multiply to -2. So, we place these two numbers in parenthesis with an x.

f(x) = x^2(x + 2)(x - 1)

Now we can also separate the x^2 into 2 x's.

f(x) = (x)(x)(x + 2)(x - 1)

To find the zeros, we need to set them all equal to 0

x = 0

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

Since there are two 0's, we know the graph just touches there. Since there are 1 of the other two numbers, we know that it crosses there.

Solve for the missing side to the nearest tenth. 19 X 51

Answer:

x = 30.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric Ratios

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios.

Selecting any of the acute angles, it has an adjacent side and an opposite side. The trigonometric ratios are defined upon those sides and the hypotenuse.

The given right triangle has an angle of measure 51° and its adjacent leg has a measure of 19 units. It's required to calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We use the cosine ratio to calculate x:

$\displaystyle \cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$

$\displaystyle \cos 51^\circ=\frac{19}{x}$

Solving for x:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{19}{\cos 51^\circ}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{19}{0.6293}$

x = 30.2 units

Two equations given. We have to find the solution sets for the equations.

y = -x²-2x+8 and y = 2x +11

There are 3 steps given. As both equations are equal to y, so we can equate the x parts.

-x²-2x+8 = 2x+11

0 = x²+4x+3

0 = (x+1)(x+3)

Now we have to use zero product property to solve this. If multiplication of two terms equal to 0, we can set each of them equal to 0.

x+1 = 0 , x+3 = 0

When, x+1 =0, by moving 1 to the other side we will get x = -1.

When x+3 =0, by moving 3 to the other side we will get x =-3

Now for the two values of x, we have to find y .

When x = -1, by plugging in the value to the second equation we will get,

y = 2x+11 = 2×(-1)+11 = -2 +11 = 9

So for x =-1, y =9.

The solution set is (-1, 9)

Now when x = -3, by plugging in the value to the second equation we will get,

y = 2x+11 = 2×(-3) +11 = -6+11 = 5

So for x = -3, y = 5

The solution set is (-3,5)

Therefore, the solutions for the system of equations are (-3, 5) and (-1, 9)

So the third option is correct.
