Let's put this into an equation.

2x + 5 = 25
2x + 5 - 5 = 25 - 5
2x = 20
2x/2 = 20/2
x = 10

ANSWER: 10
Check
2(10) + 5 = 25
20 + 5 = 25
25 = 25

Tada!! Hope this helps. God bless :)

I'm pretty sure the number would be 10.

10*2=20

20+5=25

For what value of k is there one solution to the given quadratic equation (k+1)x²+4kx+2=0.

andriy [413]

Answer:

If $k = 1$ or $k = -\frac{1}{2}$ , there is only one solution to the given quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

The signal of $\bigtriangleup$ determines how many real roots an equation has:

$\bigtriangleup > 0$ : Two real and different solutions

$\bigtriangleup = 0$ : One real solution

$\bigtriangleup < 0$ : No real solutions

In this problem, we have the following second order polynomial:

$(k+1)x^{2} + 4kx + 2 = 0$ .

This means that $a = k+1; b = 4k; c = 2$

It has one solution if

$\bigtriangleup = 0$

$b^{2} - 4ac = 0$

$16k^{2} -8(k+1) = 0$

$16k^{2} - 8k - 8 = 0$

We can simplify by 8

$2k^{2} - k - 1 = 0$

The solution is:

$k = 1$ or $k = -\frac{1}{2}$

So, if $k = 1$ or $k = -\frac{1}{2}$ , there is only one solution to the given quadratic equation.

The scale on a map is ½ inch = 15 miles. How far apart are two towns that are 2 inches apart on the map? Someone help me please!

erastova [34]

The two towns would be 60 miles apart. Because 2 inches divided by 0.5 inches is 4. So you have to multiply 15 miles and you’ll 60 miles
