If you would like to solve the equation 2 * x^2 + 8 * x = x^2 - 16, you can calculate this using the following steps:

<span>2 * x^2 + 8 * x = x^2 - 16
</span><span>2 * x^2 - x^2 + 8 * x + 16 = 0
</span>x^2 + 8 * x + 16 = 0
(x + 4) * (x + 4) = 0
x = - 4

The correct result would be x = - 4.

Answer:

x = -4 is the only solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 2x² + 8x = x² - 16

We can find the value of x by solving the equation.

(2x² + 8x) - x² = (x² - 16) - x²

x² + 8x = - 16

(x² + 8x) + 16 = (-16) + 16

x² + 8x + 16 = 0

(x + 4)² = 0 [ Since a² + b² + 2ab = (a + b)²]

⇒ (x + 4) = 0

x = -4

Therefore, x = -4 is the only solution of the given equation.

Answer: The answer is 5 but all of them are five but on the number line it’s going to the right with no fill in, it’s just a circle going to the right. Also it gives you a clue it says more than meaning greater than so it’s going this way > but the line is going this way 0———————-> on the number line with no black fill in.

Answer:

x=86250

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

(1/5)^4*x-13-(125)=0

Step by step solution :

STEP

Simplify —

Equation at the end of step

(((—)4) • x) - 13) - 125 = 0

STEP

Equation at the end of step

((—— • x) - 13) - 125 = 0

STEP

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 625 as the denominator :

13 13 • 625

13 = —— = ————————

1 625

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x - (13 • 625) x - 8125

—————————————— = ————————

625 625

Equation at the end of step

(x - 8125)

—————————— - 125 = 0

625

STEP

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 625 as the denominator :

125 125 • 625

125 = ——— = —————————

1 625

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(x-8125) - (125 • 625) x - 86250

—————————————————————— = —————————

625 625

Equation at the end of step

x - 86250

————————— = 0

When a fraction equals zero :

5.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

x-86250

——————— • 625 = 0 • 625

625

Now, on the left hand side, the 625 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

x-86250 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2 Solve : x-86250 = 0

Add 86250 to both sides of the equation :

x = 86250

One solution was found :

x = 86250
