Solve the equation above

Mathematics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

X = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 X (5X-8) = -9

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

2 X 1/2 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)

1 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2

5 x -8 = 2 x (-9)

5 x -8 = -18

Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides

5X -8 + 8=-18 + 8

Then eliminate the opposites

5X = -18 + 8

Calculate the sum

5X = -10

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

5X DIVIDE 5 = -10 DIVIDE BY 5

X = -10 DIVIDE BY 5

X = -2

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. 4x2 + 4x + 1 = 9​
Vilka [71]

Answer:

4x^2 + 4x + 1=9

4x^2 + 4x - 8=0

Dividing both sides by 4

x^2 + x -2=0

It can be written as

x^2 + 2x - x - 2=0

x(x+2) -1(x+2)=0

taking (x+2) as common on LHS

Then, (x+2)(x-1)=0

Now first equate x+2=0  ie x=-2

then                 x-1=0 ie x=1

Therefore, x has two values(roots)

that is -2,1
