You got it right because you solved it correctly
Answer:
the answer is an equal sign
Answer: 13/7 or as a decimal 1.857142857
How did i get the answer:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
so 1/2 of 10 is 5, 1/2 of 16 is 8
-3/5 of 15 is -9 and -3/5 of -35 is POSITIVE 21
all together should look like 5x+8+−13=−9x+21
(now we have to combine like terms)
8+ -13= -5
5x -5 = -9x+21
Step 2: Add 9x to both sides
5x + 9x= 14x
14x -5 = 21
Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.
21+5= 26
14x=26
Step 4: Divide both sides by 14.
26/14= 1.85714286 or 13/7
X = 4 ; x = 3 + i ; x = 3 - i
(If you get a zero that is adding or subtracting, you always need to write it twice but change the sign do they cancel out)
f(x) = (x-4)(x-3-i)(x-3+i)
Distributing the last two parenthesis first is always the best way to start off
(x-3-i)(x-3+i) has (x-3) in common so it can be separated to
(x-3)^2 + (-i)(+i)
(x^2 - 6x + 9) ; (-i)(+i) is always +1
(x^2 - 6x + 9) + 1
(x^2 - 6x + 10)
Now multiply this with (x-4)
x^3 - 6x^2 + 10x
- 4x^2 + 24x - 40
x^3 - 10x^2 + 34x - 40 = f(x)
