Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter B. x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

               4x² - 48x = -144

Process

1.- Equal to zero

               4x² - 48x + 144 = 0

2.- Multiply 4 by 144

             4 x 144 = 576

3.- Find the prime factors of 576

                     576   2

                     288   2

                     144    2

                       72    2

                       36   2

                       18    2

                        9    3

                        3     3

                         1

4.- Find two numbers that added gives -48,

     these numbers are -24 and -24

5.- Write the equation using these numbers

              4x² -24x - 24x + 144 = 0

6.- Factor by grouping

             4x(x - 6) - 24(x - 6)

7.- Factor by like terms

             (x - 6)(4x - 24)

8.- Find the solutions

              x - 6 = 0           4x - 24 = 0                            

              x = 6                   4x = 24

                                        x = 24/4

                                        x = 6

Josefina started to solve for x in the equation 3.5 = 1.9 – 0.8|2x – 0.6| using the steps below: 3.5 = 1.9 – 0.8|2x – 0.6| 1.6 =
vredina [299]
She stopped because:
| 2 x - 0.6 | ≠ -2 . It is absolute value and it can´t be equal to the negative number.
This equation has no solution.

Answer:

  5n -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Try n=1 in each expression and see which gives you a first term of 2.

  2-5n = 2-5·1 = -3

  2n -5 = 2·1 -5 = -3

  5n -3 = 5·1 -3 = 2 . . . . . this is the expression you want

  5n +2 = 5·1 +2 = 7

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

For a common difference of 5, <em>the coefficient of n must be 5</em>. The second answer choice fails on that count also.
