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

The vertices of a triangle are p(3,7) Q(7,-6) R(-8,7). Name the vertices of the image reflected across the x axis
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

<em>P'(3,-7) Q'(7,6) R'(-8,-7).</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Reflection across the x-axis</u>

Given a point P(x,y), its reflection across the x-axis will map to point P'(x,-y), i.e., the y-coordinate gets inverted.

We are given the vertices of a triangle P(3,7) Q(7,-6) R(-8,7). The vertices of the image reflected across the x-axis are:

P'(3,-7) Q'(7,6) R'(-8,-7).

The new triangle has vertices P'Q'R'.

What are some prime numbers to create a product of four
Alex_Xolod [135]
Since a product in maths means the result after multiplying numbers, you need to multiply 2 prime numbers and get 4.

If we look at the prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc, we see that the only number we can multiply to get 4 is 2, or, in other words, the only multiplication of prime numbers we can do to get four is 2*2=4.

Helppppp!!!!<br> I don’t understand it
oksian1 [2.3K]
Okay so for 2x-y > 3
Subtract -2 from each side
-y>-2x+3
Divide by -1
And when you divid you gotta switch signs
So it’s y<2x-3

3x-5y less than and equal to 25
Subtract 3
-5y is less than and equal to -3x+25
Then divide by -5
Flip since we divide
Y more than and equal to 3/5x-5
We always flip signs when we divid or multiple
I hope this help
Sorry if I’m wrong

11. x squared - 7x = 0 12. 3x squared - 4x = 20x + 27
Stella [2.4K]
11. x² - 7x = 0
      x(x) - x(7) = 0
      x(x - 7) = 0
      x = 0    or    x - 7 = 0
                           + 7 + 7 
                               x = 7

Solution Set: {0, 7}

12. 3x² - 4x = 20x + 27
           + 4x   + 4x
             3x² = 24x + 27
      3x² - 24x - 27 = 0
      x = -(-24) ± √((-24)² - 4(3)(-27))
                              2(3)
       x = 24 ± √(576 + 324)
                         6
       x = 24 ± √(900)
                     6
       x = 24 ± 30
                 6
       x = 4 ± 5
       x = 4 + 5    or    x = 4 - 5
       x = 9    or    x = -1

Solution Set: {9, -1}
