Hey!

Let's start writing this problem.
$-2x+7=13x-5$
Subtract $7$ from both sides.
$-2x+7-7=13x-5-7$
$-2x=13x-12$
Subtract $13x$ from both sides.
$-2x-13x=13x-12-13x$
$-15x=-12$
Divide both sides by $-15$ .
$\frac{-15x}{-15}=\frac{-12}{-15}$
$x=\frac{4}{5}$

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this problem!
Thanks!

What is the median of the follow 6 scores ? 64 , 72, 85 , 80 , 72 , 89

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

median is the number in the very center of the list of numbers in order:

64, 72, 72, 80, 85, 89

to find the one in the middle we take away the numbers from both ends:

72, 72, 80, 85

72, 80

since there are two numbers in the middle we’ll find the average

(72+80)/2

152/2

Factor both quadratic expressions. (x 4 + 5x 2 - 36)(2x 2 + 9x - 5) = 0

Sonbull [250]

So focusing on x^4 + 5x^2 - 36, we will be completing the square. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -36x^4 and a sum of 5x^2? That would be 9x^2 and -4x^2. Replace 5x^2 with 9x^2 - 4x^2: $x^4+9x^2-4x^2-36$

Next, factor x^4 + 9x^2 and -4x^2 - 36 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses: $x^2(x^2+9)-4(x^2+9)$

Now you can rewrite this as $(x^2-4)(x^2+9)$ , however this is not completely factored. With (x^2 - 4), we are using the difference of squares, which is $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ . Applying that here, we have $(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+9)$ . x^4 + 5x^2 - 36 is completely factored.

Next, focusing now on 2x^2 + 9x - 5, we will also be completing the square. What two terms have a product of -10x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be 10x and -x. Replace 9x with 10x - x: $2x^2+10x-x-5$
