8/x=14/7 what does x equal

Mathematics

Answer:

when you have two fractions that equal each other you want to solve by using cross multiply

What cross multiply is, is when you multiply diagonally so:

8/x=14/7

you would take 14*x and 8*7

14x=56 (you would then divide each side by 14)

x=4 (14/14=1, 56/14=4)

8/4=14/7

To check your work you could simplify

8/4=2

14/7=2

2=2, which is true

x=4

Hope this helps ;)

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation. 2x+11x+15= 0

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The roots of the equation are x=-3 and x=-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct quadratic equation is

2x^2+11x+15=0

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$2x^{2} +11x+15=0$

$a=2\\b=11\\c=15$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-11(+/-)\sqrt{11^{2}-4(2)(15)}} {2(2)}$

$x=\frac{-11(+/-)\sqrt{121-120}} {4}$

$x=\frac{-11(+/-)\sqrt{1}} {4}$

$x=\frac{-11(+/-)1} {4}$

$x_1=\frac{-11(+)1}{4}=-2.5$

$x_2=\frac{-11(-)1}{4}=-3$

therefore

The roots of the equation are x=-3 and x=-2.5

Help me! what is the domain or range?

Lapatulllka [165]

Domain is [-10,∞)
2 is included , only at x=2 new function begins
Range is the values of y , so range is [-7]∪[-4,6
I think, it should be like this.
