x/2 + 10 = -15

Subtract 10 from both sides:

x/2 = -25

Multiply both sides by 2:

x = -50

7. Find an equation of the line containing (- 4,5) and perpendicular to the line 5x - 3y = 4.

bagirrra123 [75]

The equation of the line containing (- 4,5) and perpendicular to the line 5x - 3y = 4 is y = -3 / 5 x + 13 / 5

<h3>How to find the equation of a line?</h3>

The equation of a line can be represented as follows:

y = mx + b

where

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Therefore, the equation passes through (-4, 5) and perpendicular to 5x - 3y = 4

Hence,

perpendicular lines follows the rule below:

m₁m₂ = -1

Hence,

5x - 3y = 4

5x - 4 = 3y

y = 5/ 3 x - 4 / 3

m₁ = 5 / 3

5/3 m₂ = -1

m₂ = - 3 / 5

Hence,

using (-4, 5)

5 = - 3 / 5 (-4) + b

5 = 12 / 5 + b

b = 5 - 12 / 5 = 25 - 12 /5 = 13 / 5

Therefore,

y = -3 / 5 x + 13 / 5

Solve this equation for x: 2x^2 + 12x - 7 = 0

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355

First step is to: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve this equation: $2x^2 + 12x - 7 = 0$

On observation, the trinomial is not factorizable so we use the Completing the square method.

Step 1: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides

$2x^2 + 12x - 7+7 = 0+7\\2x^2 + 12x=7$

Step 2: Divide the equation all through by the coefficient of $x^2$ which is 2.

$x^2 + 6x=\frac{7}{2}$

Step 3: Divide the coefficient of x by 2, square it and add it to both sides.

Coefficient of x=6

Divided by 2=3

Square of 3= $3^2$

Therefore, we have:

$x^2 + 6x+3^2=\frac{7}{2}+3^2$

Step 4: Write the Left Hand side in the form $(x+k)^2$

$(x+3)^2=\frac{7}{2}+3^2\\(x+3)^2=12.5\\$

Step 5: Take the square root of both sides and solve for x

$x+3=\pm\sqrt{12.5}\\x=-3\pm \sqrt{12.5}\\x=-3+ \sqrt{12.5}, $ or $x= -3- \sqrt{12.5}\\$x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355$
