Answer:

-6/11 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use cross products to solve

(5x+2)/8=x/6

6 ( 5x+2) = 8x

Distribute

30x + 12 = 8x

Subtract 30x from each side

30x -30x +12 = 8x - 30x

12 = -22x

Divide each side by -22

12/-22 = -22x/-22

-6/11 =x

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - 11 = - 2x + 19 ( add 2x to both sides )

5x - 11 = 19 ( add 11 to both sides )

5x = 30 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 6

Find the estimates of x^2-x-2=3

Julli [10]

Answer:

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx 2.79\\or\ x=\frac{1-\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx -1.79$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation is

$x^2-x-2=3\\x^2-x-5=0$

Roots of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ are

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\$

So, for the given equation roots are

$x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2\cdot 1}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{21}}{2}\\so, x=\frac{1+\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx 2.79\\or\ x=\frac{1-\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx -1.79$
