The quotient of 24 and x equals 14 minus 2 times x
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 3, x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
= 14 - 2x ( multiply through by x , x ≠ 0 )
24 = 14x - 2x² ( subtract 14x - 2x² from both sides )
2x² - 14x + 24 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )
x² - 7x + 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Answer:
y = x +
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
rearrange 12x - 5y = - 44 into this form
subtract 12x from both sides
- 5y = - 12x - 44 ( divide all terms by - 5 )
y = x +
← in slope- intercept form
