Sqrt(1-3x)=x+3
[sqrt(1-3x)]^2=(x+3)^2
1-3x=(x+3)(x+3)
1-3x=x^2+6x+9
-3x=x^2+6x+8
0=x^2+9x+8
The answers are -1 and -8 BUT, we have to plug them back into the original equation to make sure we don't get a negative under the square root sign.
After doing this, we realize that only -1 works, so the answer is x=-1
Sorry that this took forever to answer. I was thinking of a good way to explain this, and if you need any further explanation, message me:)
Best wishes:)
Answer:
52 is the size of the sample space of this two-stage experiment
You are correct, C) 4x = 12.
So, if 4 people are eating 12 pieces of pizza, simply divide 12 by 4 and there's your answer!
12 / 4 = 3 Each person gets 3 slices of pizza.
-5 because it is closest to zero and -17 is farther than zero on a number line :) <span />
