Find the value of x in the equation 2 x + 20 = 15 + 3 x . A. 16 B. 1 C. –5 D. 25

1 answer:

5 0

The value of x is 5.

2x + 20 = 15 + 3x

Group like terms, change its signs.

2x - 3x = 15 - 20
-1x = -5
-1x/-1 = -5/-1
x = 5

To check: substitute x by its value. x = 5
2x + 20 = 15 + 3x
2(5) + 20 = 15 + 3(5)
10 + 20 = 15 + 15
30 = 30

$\bf \begin{array}{llccll}
y=&1x^2&-6x&+9\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}\qquad discriminant\implies b^2-4ac$

so... what does that give you for the discriminant?

if it's a negative value, no solutions
if it's a positive value, two solutions
if it's 0, one solution

Weather forecasters use a barometer to measure

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: air pressure

Whenever you hear things like "high pressure" or "low pressure" on weather reports, they measured the pressure using a barometer. Knowing the air pressure helps determine if there is a higher chance of rain or storms for instance.

Typically but not always, high pressure correlates to sunny days and dry weather. Low pressure often brings about rain. This is of course a very oversimplified viewpoint.
