Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

I always change the decimals into whole numbers by multiplying them by 10.  If you do this, it is much easier to solve.  All you do is multiply every term by 10.

the equation changes to

-5(x+3)-2x=41

-5x-15-2x=41

combine like terms

-7x-15=41

bring the 15 over to the 41

-7x=56

divide everything by 7

-x=8

change x to a positive

x=-8

Answer:

  1. Angle 1 = 139°
  2. Angle 2 = 41°
  3. x = 29; exterior angle = 131°

Step-by-step explanation:

These problems let you make use of the fact that the sum of the remote interior angles is equal to the exterior angle.

__

1. 53° +86° = ∠1

  139° = ∠1

__

2. ∠2 +92° = 133°

  ∠2 = 133° -92°

  ∠2 = 41°

__

3. (x +9)° +93° = (4x+15)°

  87 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract x+15°

  29 = x . . . . . . . divide by 3

The exterior angle is ...

  (4x +15)° = (4·29 +15)° = 131° . . . exterior angle

Use completing the square to solve for x in the equation (x+7)(x-9) = 25.
balandron [24]

Answer:

x = 1  ±√89

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

(x+7)(x-9) = 25

Using distributive property:

x(x-9) + 7(x-9) = 25

x²- 9x + 7x - 63 -25 = 0

x²- 2x - 88 = 0

To complete squares we need to add and subtract 1, as follows:

x²- 2x - 88 +1 -1 = 0

x²- 2x +1 -88 -1 = 0    (this is a perfect square)

(x - 1)² - 89 = 0

Solving for x:

(x - 1)² = 89

x - 1 = ±√89

x = 1  ±√89
