What is the solution for x of ax-5=b?

Mathematics
1 answer:
BigorU [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = (b + 5/a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 5 to both sides of the equation:

ax - 5 (+5) = b (+5)

ax = b + 5

Next, divide a from both sides to isolate the variable, x:

(ax)/a = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5/a) is your answer.

What is the positive solution to the equation 0 = –x2 + 2x + 1? Quadratic formula: x = StartFraction negative b plus or minus St
katrin [286]

Answer:

x = 2 + √2

x = 2 - √2

Step-by-step explanation:

- x² + 2x + 1 = 0

x² - 2x - 1 = 0

Here,

a = <em>1</em>

b = <em>- 2</em>

c = <em>- 1</em>

Now,

Discriminant

D = b² - 4ac

= (-2)² - 4(1)(-1)

= 4 + 4

= 8

=2√2 > 0

<em><u>Real and </u></em><em><u>D</u></em><em><u>istinct roots </u></em>

x = - b +- √b² - 4ac/2a

= - (-2) +- √ = (-2)² - 4(1)(-1)/2(1)

= 2 +- √4 + 4/2

= 2 +- √8/2

= 2 +- 2√2/2

= 2 +- √2

x = 2 + √2 or x = 2 - √2
