The error is in step 2. if you are performing an operation on one side of the equation, it must be performed on the entire expression. you can’t only divide by 2 on one term, you must do it to everything in the equation. instead, you could add 6 to both sides first, giving you 2x = -4. Then you can divide by 2 on both sides. the answer is -2.
Answer:
Y=x^2-2x-8,x , x=r
Answer:
325 and 375 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Distance between plane A and B = 2800
Recall :
Distance = speed * time
Let speed of A = v1
Speed of B = v2
v1 = v2 + 50
Time taken = 4 hours
Distance = speed * time
Total distance = 2800
2800 = v1 * 4 + v2 * 4
2800 = (4v1) + (4v2)
2800 = 4(v2+50) + 4v2
2800 = 4v2 + 200 + 4v2
2800 = 8v2 + 200
2800 - 200 = 8v2
2600 = 8v2
v2 = 2600/8
v2 = 325 mph
v1 = v2 + 50
v1 = 325 + 50
v1 = 375 mph
I'm just gonna assume that 6/3 and 1/2 are fractions.
First you have to find common denominators for the fractions to be added.
The first common denominator divisible by both the denominators is 6.
So 2x3=6 and 1x3=3
and 3x2+6 and 6x2+12
so that would be 12/6 + 3/6
Then you would proceed to add both of the numerators together which are 12 and 3.
To get a total of 15/6. You can also simplify that into a mixed number 2 1/2.
