Solve for x: 2/3x-1=5

Mathematics
1 answer:
anygoal [31]3 years ago
4 0
X = 9. This is because if we add 1 to both sides (to make it easier to isolate x), then we get 2/3=6. Multiplying both sides by 3, we get 2x = 18. Dividing both sides by 2 (to isolate x), we get x = 9. I hope this helps! :D

Solve the system and enter the smallest x-coordinate first
ankoles [38]
Answer:
(2,-3)(6,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution to get the equation: x^2-6x+5 = 2x-7
Solve:
x^2-6x+5 = 2x-7
x^2 = 8x-12
x^2-8x+12 = 0 (we now have a polynomial)
(x-6)(x-2) = 0 (set each equation to equal 0 and solve)
x-6 = 0 --> x=6
x-2 = 0 --> x=2
To get the Y coordinates:
y=2(2)-7 --> y = -3
y = 2(6)-7 --> y = 5

Check work:
5 = 6^2-6(6)+5 --> 5 = 36-36 +5 --> 5=5
-3 = 2^2-6(2)+5 --> -3 = 4-12+5 --> -3=-3

(a+b)2 ;a=1/2 and b=2
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

\frac{25}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = \frac{1}{2} + 2 = 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}, thus

(a + b)² = (\frac{5}{2} )² = \frac{5}{2} × \frac{5}{2} = \frac{5(5)}{2(2)} = \frac{25}{4}
