For this case we must solve the following equation:

x- \frac {15} {x} = 2

We manipulate the equation algebraically:

\frac {x ^ 2-15} {x} = 2\\x ^ 2-15 = 2x\\x ^ 2-2x-15 = 0

To solve, we factor the equation. We must find two numbers that when multiplied by -15 and when summed by -2. These numbers are:

+3 and -5.

(x + 3) (x-5) = 0

So, the roots are:

x_ {1} = - 3\\x_ {2} = 5

Answer:

E) -3, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x – 15 / x = 2

x^2 - 15 = 2x

x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

x - 5 = 0; x = 5

x + 3 = 0; x = -3

Solutions: -3, 5

My first recommendation would be to simplify the numbers in each column so you would better understand them. Then you can order them in what they say to order them.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

4 + 36x is your expression

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 1 = 4

4 x 9x = 36x

so 4 + 36x is your expression because you can't add numbers with different variables or if they don't even have one.

Determine whether the vectors u and v are parallel, orthogonal, or neither.
sweet [91]

Answer:

it is orthogonal

Step-by-step explanation:

if you do the dot product.

U dot V = 0

(3 times 0) + (0 times 6 ) = 0

0 + 0 = 0

therefore it is orthogonal.

the dot product says that if u dot v equals zero, then you can say that it is orthogonal.

In a sale normall prices are reduced by 10% Natalie brought a pair of shoes from the sale and they cost £54 what was the origina
leonid [27]

Answer: £60

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalie bought a pair of shoes for £54 which had been reduced by 10%.

To find the original cost, assume the original cost is x.

The discount would be: 10% * x

The expression would therefore be:

x - (10% * x) = 54

x - 0.1x = 54

0.9x = 54

x = 54 / 0.9

x = £60
