Split the second term in 6x^2 + 17x + 5 into two terms

6x^2 + 15x + 2x + 5 = 0

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

3x(2x + 5) + (2x + 5) = 0

Factor out the common term 2x + 5

(2x + 5)(3x + 1) = 0

Solve for x

x = -5/2, -1/3

Assume that y varies inversely

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x setup is:

y = k/x

7 = $\frac{k}{2/3}$ (find 'k')

k = 7/1 · 2/3

k = 14/3

use what you know about 'k' and 'x' to solve for 'y'

y = 14/3 ÷ 7/3 (remember to multiply by the reciprocal when dividing fractions)

y = 14/3 · 3/7

y = 2

3(x-1) =2x - 3 +3x solve for x please and thank you :]

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 1) = 2x - 3 + 3x

3x - 3 = 2x - 3 + 3x

0 - 3 = 2x - 3

0 = 2x

2x = 0

x = 0 ÷ 2

x = 0
