I’m pretty sure that it is b

times both sides by 2x
x(x+2)=2(4)
x²+2x=8
minus 8 both sides
x²+2x-8=0
factor
what 2 numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2
-2 and 4
(x-2)(x+4)=0
set to zero
x-2=0
x=2
x+4=0
x=-4
x=-4 and 2
Answer:
x = -4.8
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms
3x + 2x + 6 = -18
5x + 6 = -18
isolate the terms with the x variable
5x + 6 - 6 = -18 - 6
5x = -24
isolate x
5x/5 = -24/5
x = -4.8

Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to put this 0.002 into scientific notation, where you put it as a one digit number multiplied by 10 raised to a certain power.
If we move the decimal to the right 3 times, we will have 2. We will multiply this 2 by
to show that it is still equal to 0.002.
So, the mass of the mustard seed is 2×
.
Now, we multiply this mustard seed mass by the number of mustard seeds to find the weight of all of the mustard seeds combined.
(2×
)×(4.3602×
)
Let's round 4.3602 to the nearest whole number, which is 4. We multiply those two together.
2×4=8
And we multiply the two exponents. When multiplying them, you add the numbers in the exponent. -3 and 4 combined gives us 1, and 10 the first power is just 10.
So, a good estimate for the mass of the mustard seeds is 80 grams, which is the same as (2×
)×(4×
)=8×
Have a wonderful day! :D
