<span>12(x-2)<24
Multiply the number outside the parenthesis with the numbers inside the parenthesis
12x-24<24
Add 24 to both sides
12x<48
Divide both sides by 12 so that x is the only thing remaining on the left side is the x variable.
Final Answer: x<4</span>

HELP ME QUICK PLEASEEEE solve for x: 2/x-2+7/x^2-4=5/x

Anna35 [415]

$\displaystyle\\\\\frac{2}{x-2}+\frac{7}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{^{x+2)}2~~~~~}{x-2}+\frac{7}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}+\frac{7}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2x+4+7}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2x+11}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\5(x^2-4)=x(2x+11)\\\\5x^2-20=2x^2+11x\\\\5x^2-2x^2 -11x-20=0$

$\displaystyle\\3x^2-11x-20=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{121+4\cdot3\cdot20}}{2\cdot3}=\\\\=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{121+240}}{6}=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{361 }}{6}=\frac{11\pm19}{6}\\\\x_1=\frac{11-19}{6}=\frac{-8}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf x_1=-\frac{4}{3}}\\\\x_2=\frac{11+19}{6}=\frac{30}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf x_2=5}$

Can anyone help me solve this?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\sqrt{z} +\sqrt{22})(\sqrt{z} -\sqrt{22})=35$

Subtract both sides from 35

$(\sqrt{z}+\sqrt{22} (\sqrt{z} -\sqrt{22})-35=35-35$

Simplify:

$(\sqrt{z})^{2} -57=0$

Factor $(\sqrt{z})^{2} -57: (\sqrt{z}+\sqrt{57}) (\sqrt{z}-\sqrt{57})$ =0

$\sqrt{z} +\sqrt{57}=0 or \sqrt{z} -\sqrt{57}=0$

$\sqrt{z} +\sqrt{57} =0: No Solution for Z$

$\sqrt{z} -\sqrt{57} =0: z=57$

Your answer will be z=57

and No solution

Is 15 ft, 36 ft, 39 ft a right triangle?

Nina [5.8K]

Use the pythagoream theorem to check. a^2+b^2=c^2

a=15 b=36 c= 39

225+1296=1521

The equation is true so it is a right triangle.
