-3(5 + 8x) - 20 ≤ -11 |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
-15 - 24x - 20 ≤ -11
-35 - 24x ≤ -11 |add 35 to both sides
-24x ≤ 24 |change signs
24x ≥ -24 |divide both sides by 24
x ≥ -1
Use the distributive property.
4a - 8 = 3a + 12
Arrange the like terms.
4a - 3a = 12 + 8
a = 20
That is the answer. <span>☺️</span>✌️
Answer:
52.3272727...
the 27 at the end is repeating
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
When you match the form
... ax² + bx + c = 0
to the equation
... 3x² + 5x + 7 = 0
it is reasonable to conclude that ...
... a = 3, b = 5, c = 7.
_____
The question presumes you are familiar with the form
... ax² +bx +c = 0
which is often used as the representation of a general quadratic equation. This lets us use a, b, and c instead of specific numbers, to talk about ways of factoring, graphing, or solving equations like this.
