Mathematics

SOLUTION:

Let whole number = x

x + 2x^2 = 21

2x^2 + x - 21 = 0

2x^2 + 7x - 6x - 21 = 0

x ( 2x + 7 ) - 3 ( 2x + 7 ) = 0

( 2x + 7 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0


2x + 7 = 0

2x = - 7

x = - 7 / 2

OR

x - 3 = 0

x = 3


ANSWER:

Therefore, as 3 is a whole number while - 7 / 2 isn't a whole number, the whole number must be 3.

Hope this helps! :)

Evaluate each expression when a = -4 and b = 3<br><br>1.) ab<br>2.) 2a + 3b <br>2.) 2(a - b)​
Svet_ta [14]

1) -12

ab is a times b. We plug in the numbers (-4)*(3) which equals -12.

2) 1

We plug in -4 for a, and 3 for b into the equation.

We get 2(-4) + 3(3)

2*-4 is -8. 3*3 is 9. We add them both, and -8+9 equals 1.

3) -14

We plug in -4 for a, and 3 for b into the equation.

2(-4-3)

-4-3 is -7. -7*2 equals -14.

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)? 3 4 5 9
ICE Princess25 [194]

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)

First, distribute 1.5 into x and 4, and 4.5 into x and -2, to get rid of the parentheses. Everything that we do to solve this equation is to isolate x to solve for its value.

1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9

Combine like terms on both sides (6-3).

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

Subtract 1.5x from both sides.

3=3x-9

Add 9 to both sides.

12=3x

Divide both sides by 3.

4=x

The answer is 4.

I hope this helps :)
