Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms: 40 + 60 = 100 2x = 100 Divide each side by '2'. x = 50 Simplifying x = 50.
Answer:
That can be re-written:
x^2 + 5x -8 = 0
We use the Quadratic Formula
a=1
b = 5
c = -8
x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
x = [-5 +- sq root (25 - - 32)] / 2
x1 = [-5 + sq root (57)] / 2
x1 = 1.27491722
x2 = [-5 - sq root (57)] / 2
x2 = -6.2749172176
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
maybe c?
Step-by-step explanation:
you could try
That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
Hello! When dividing fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So 2/3 divided by 1/2 would be 2/3 times 2.
As you can see, the first fraction would be the same. Therefore, a will be 4. 5 and 6 will swap, so b will be 6 and c will be 5.
Therefore, our answer is D) a=4, b=6, c=5
I hope this helps!
