Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The zero is the value of x that makes the linear factor zero:
5x +0 = 0
5x = 0 . . . . . simplify
x = 0/5 = 0 . . . . divide by 5
The associated zero is x = 0.
Answer:
8/15
Step-by-step explanation:
(2/5)/(3/4)=(2/5)(4/3)=8/15
Equation #1:
|2x - 3| = 17
The first solution is
2x - 3 = 17
2x = 17 + 3 = 20
x = 10
The second solution is
3 - 2x = 17
-2x = 17 - 3 = 14
x = -7
The solutions are x = 10 or x = -7.
Equation #2:
|5x + 3| = 12
The only solution is
5x + 3 = 12
5x = 12 - 3 = 9
x = 9/5
