Answer:x=5,-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Edna says that when \left ( x-2\right )^2=9[/tex]

then x-2=3

such that x=5

but this is not true as when we put the value of x in equation then it will not satisfy the equation.

It can be solved by taking the terms either on LHS or RHS

\left ( x-2\right )^2-9=0

x-2=\pm 3

x=5

x=-1

Assuming the given equation is (x-2)^2 = 9, Edna is partially correct. Saying x-2 = 3 is halfway there in terms of getting the ful solution. She forgot about the minus form of the plus minus. If (x-2)^2 = 9, then applying the square root to both sides leads to these two equations: x-2 = 3 or x-2 = -3. So we have a plus 3 and then a minus 3.

The population of a city in 2005 was 18,000. By 2010, the city’s population had grown to 45,000. If the population growth follow
olga_2 [115]
First find the rate of growth
45000=18000(1+r)^(2010-2005)
Solve for r
r=((45,000÷18,000)^(1÷5)−1)×100
R=20%
Use it to find the population in 2015
P=45000(1+0.20)^(2015-2010)
P==111,974.4

10x + 5x – 3 = 2(2x – 1)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The answer is x = 1/11

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps

10x + 5x – 3 = 2(2x – 1)

10x+5x-3=4x-2

15x-4x=-2+3

11x=1

To find x divide both sides by 11

11x/11=1/11

x= 1/11

Answer this question Angie and her friends are 3/4 of a pizza.Her brother joe ate 2/3 of what was left.How much did joe eat?
Alja [10]
If Angie and her friends ate 3/4 of a pizza, that means that 1/4 is left.
Joe ate 2/3 of 1/4 of a pizza. To find out how much he ate, multiply 1/4 by 2/3.

\frac{1}{4}* \frac{2}{3}= \frac{2}{12} because you multiply fractions straight across.

Your answer is 2/12 or <em>1/6 of the pizza</em>
