1 answer:

5 0

X=10

2X +4+ 5X = 8X -6
combine like terms on both sides
7X +4=8X -6
subtract the four on both sides
7X +4 = 8X -6
-4. -4
7X = 8x-10
subtract 8x from both sides
7X = 8X -10
-8x. -8x
-x = -10
Divide negative one from both sides to get the X by itself
-x/-1. -10/-1
x = 10

Answer:

${x}^{2} + 2x + 1 = 17 \\ {x}^{2} + 2x - 16 = 0 \\ x = \frac{ - b± \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} \\ x = \frac{ - 2± \sqrt{68} }{2} \\ x = \frac{ - 2±2 \sqrt{17} }{2 } \\ x = - 1± \sqrt{17}$
