-x(3x-10)=8
-3x^2+10x=8 (DISTRIBUTE)
-3x^2+10x-8=0 (BALANCE TO ZERO)
(-3x+4)(x-2)=0 (FACTOR)
(-x+4/3)(x-2)=0 (SIMPLIFY)
{x=2 OR x= 4/3}

The equation of a function is y = 10 – 9x.Find the value of x when

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

x = 2, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 10 - 9x is a linear equation and the value of either y or x can be found by substituting the given values of either y or x.

given that y = -8, and substituting this into equation y = 10 - 9x,

we have, -8 = 10 - 9x

10 + 8 = 9x

9x = 18; dividing both sides by 9

x = 2

given that y = -26, and substituting this into equation y = 10 - 9x,

we have, -26 = 10 - 9x

10 + 26 = 9x

9x = 36; dividing both sides by 9

x = 4

Write 0.00000000018 in a scientific notation

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$1.8*10^{-10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number in scientific notation you want to find how many times you have to move the decimal to get the decimal to be right after the first non-zero number. If you move to the left the exponent is positive and if you move it to the right the exponent is negative. The answer would be $1.8*10^{-10}$ .
