So we want to solve like if it was just a basic equation. We start with 25+3.50x<17+7.50x and get rid of our smallest x. That means we get rid of the 3.50x by subtracting from both sides and our new equation is 25<17+4x. Let’s get our x by itself shall we, so let’s subtract 17 from both sides and we get 8<4x. Finally all we do is divide by 4 and just like that 2
Answer:
Where's the equation?
Step-by-step explanation:
Where's the equation?
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2
(x+5) *x = 6^2
x^2 +5x = 36
Subtract 36 from each side
x^2 +5x - 36 = 0
Factor
( x-4) (x+9) = 0
Using the zero product property
x-4 = 0 x+9 =0
x = 4 x=-9
Cannot be negative since that is negative length
x=4
