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

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that their is 1 record per third grader

1)              6(9)

                  =54

2)             54-X=5

                  -X =-49

3)              -X(-1)=-49(-1)

4)                 X=49

angle a and b are both supplementary to angle c if the measure of angle a is 12 less than 2 times the measure of c find the meas
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The measure of a = b = 116 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have value of angles to calculate.

If a and b are both supplementary to c, what this means is that when we add either a or b to c, we get 180

Hence; Mathematically;

a + c = 180 and b + c = 180

What we have here is that a and b must be equal since they are both supplementary to the same angle value

Now, we are told further in the question that the measure of angle a is 12 less than 2 times the measure of c;

Mathematically, this means that;

a = 2c - 12

So we now want to find the measure of b

Let’s substitute for a

2c -12 + c = 180

3c -12 = 180

3c = 180 + 12

3c =192

c = 192/3

c = 64

Thus; a = 2c - 12 = 2(64) -12 = 128 -12 = 116
