What is the reason for each step in the solution of the equation 12-5x+6x=4

Mathematics

Simplify :
12+-5x+6x=4
combine like terms :
-5x+6x=1x
12+1x=4
solving :
12+1x=4
solving for variable ‘x’
move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right, add ‘-12’ to each side of the equation
12+-12+1x=4+-12
combine like terms:
then divide each side
your answer : x=-8

y=x^2 + x - 2

x + y = 1

Replace y in the second equation:

x + x^2 + x -2 = 1

Simplify:

x^2 + 2x -2 = 1

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x^2 + 2x -3 = 0

Factor:

(x-1) (x+3) = 0

Solve for both x's:

x = 1 and x = -3

Now replace x in the second equation and solve for y using both x values:

1 + y = 1, y = 0

-3 + y = 1, y = 4

Now you have (1,0) and (-3,4) as solutions for (x,y)

XY = x times y:

1 x 0 = 0

-3 x 4 = -12

The answer would be -12

The expression (8-3)^2-(5-2)^2 is equivalent to what numerical expression
Tresset [83]
(8-3)²-(5-2)²
Follow the PEMDAS
P-Parenthesis
E-Exponents
M/D-Multiplication/Division
A/S-Addition/Subtraction
clear the numerals in the parenthesis:
(5)²-(3)²
Now do the exponents:
=25-9
=16
Its just: (5)²-(3)²

Question 1 WRONG With what number must 3.475817 be multiplied in order to obtain the number 34,758.17? A 100 1,000 10,000 D 100,
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

1 - Option C - 10,000

2 - 3x+5 will be 12 more than 3x-7.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find : With what number must 3.475817 be multiplied in order to obtain the number 34,758.17?

Solution :

The number 3.475817 is multiplied by number to obtain 34,758.17.

As we see that, the decimal is moved four places to the right.

Which means the number is multiplied by 10000.

i.e. 3.475817\times 10000=34,758.17

Therefore, option C is correct.

2) To find : How much greater is the value of 3x+5 than the value of 3x−7?

Solution ;

Assuming that x is the same value in each equation,

In order to determine the difference between the two values,

We ignore the 3x part as it is the same on both of the equations.

So, from 5 to -7 i.e. 7+5=12.

Therefore, 3x+5 will be 12 more than 3x-7.

Factorize (X + 2 y)square - (2 x minus y) square​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

- (x - 3y)(3x + y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 2y)² - (2x - y)² ← expand both parenthesis using FOIL

= x² + 4xy + 4y² - (4x² - 4xy + y²) ← distribute

= x² + 4xy + 4y² - 4x² + 4xy - y² ← collect like terms

= - 3x² + 8xy + 3y² ← factor out - 1 from each term

= - 1(3x² - 8xy - 3y²) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the coefficient of the y² term which sum to give the coefficient of the xy- term.

product = 3 × - 3 = - 9 and sum = - 8

The factors are - 9 and + 1

Use these factors to split the xy- term

3x² - 9xy + xy - 3y² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x - 3y) + y(x - 3y) ← factor out (x - 3y) from each term

= (x - 3y)(3x + y)

Thus

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