5 0

Answer:

x=−2 or x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x2−2x−3=5

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

x2−2x−3−5=5−5

x2−2x−8=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(x+2)(x−4)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

x+2=0 or x−4=0

x=−2 or x=4

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the ref
Deffense [45]
To minimize the cost, we take the straight distance from the refinery to the other side of the river as 2 km. Also, the 7 km will be the distance that has to be traveled by the pipeline in land. The total cost, C, is therefore,
               total cost =   (2 km)($800,000/km) + (7 km)($400,000 /km)
                    total cost = $4,400,000
Thus, the total cost of the pipeline is approximately $4,400,000.00.

Solution of y - x &lt; -3
devlian [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality y - x < -3 should be solved for y, as follows:

Add x to both sides, obtaining:

y  <  x - 3

Note that this y  <  x - 3 has the form y = mx + b, which represents a straight line.  In this case the straight line would be y = x - 3, meaning that the slope of this line is 1 and the y-intercept is -3.

Because y  <  x - 3  involves the inequality symbol <, draw a dashed line, not a solid line.   The solution set consists of all points on the graph BELOW this dashed line y  <  x - 3.
