Hello!

To solve, this, perform the opposite operation of what is being done on both sides. Here, we see x being <u>multiplied</u> by -7. The opposite operation of multiplication is division.

Therefore, to solve this, divide both sides by -7.

-7x = -96

-7x / -7 = -96 / -7

x = -96/-7

When you divide two negative numbers, they become a positive.

x = 96/7

This cannot be simplified further as a fraction, but if you would like the exact decimal, it is about 13.714.

Hope this helps!

Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below? 3x2 - 3x + 1

Inga [223]

For this case we have the following polynomial:

$3x^2 - 3x + 1$

Applying the formula of the resolvent we have:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Substituting values we have:

$x=\frac{-(-3)+/-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(3)(1)}}{2(3)}$

Rewriting we have:

$x=\frac{3+/-\sqrt{9-12}}{6}$

$x=\frac{3+/-\sqrt{-3}}{6}$

$x=\frac{3+/-i\sqrt{3}}{6}$

Therefore, the roots of the polynomial are given by:

$x=\frac{3+i\sqrt{3}}{6}$

$x=\frac{3-i\sqrt{3}}{6}$

Answer:

The values of x that are roots of the polynomial are:

$x=\frac{3+i\sqrt{3}}{6}$

$x=\frac{3-i\sqrt{3}}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert the word problem into an equation:

1.36x= 71,400

x represents the number of people in the previous population

We divide both sides by 1.36

x=52,500

The previous population was 52,500!
