Answer:
x = √(28), or x = 5.292
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute the square to the values inside of the parentheses. so it ends up looking like this
5(x^2 - 25) - 9 = 6
add 9 to both sides
so its 5(x^2 - 25) = 15
Then distribute the multiplication of 5 to the contents within the parentheses
so it would be 5x^2 - 125 = 15
add 125 to both sides
you get 5x^2 = 140
divide by 5 on both sides
you get x^2=28
then, take the square root of both sides to reverse the square
√(x^2)=√(28)
and in the end you get x=5.292
but √(28) will probably be fine if your teacher doesn't want u to solve for that kind of stuff.
Answer:
last option is correct
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
14 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.
Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.
Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.
This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.
Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.
We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.

And we solve from there:

So, the value of n is 7.
Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.
And the consecutive even number is 16.
