solve for "x"

A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. For this case, the rate would have units of miles per minutes. We calculate as follows:

rate = 36 miles / 45 min = 0.8 miles per min
distance traveled = 0.8 miles per min ( 60 min ) = 48 miles

What are the solutions (intersections) for –2| x– 16| = 6 ?

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to divide both sides of this equation by -2, making the equation |x-16|=-3. At this point you should know there cannot be any solutions to the equation because absolute value cannot be negative.

Solve the following quadratic equation 3x²-8x+5=0

nekit [7.7K]

To solve this equation, let's factor the left side.

Although you can factor it in different ways, I will show you a trick.

First, forget about the 3 and we have x² - 8x + 5.

Now, multiply the 3 by the constant to get 15.

So we have x² - 8x + 15.

Now factor to get (x - 5)(x - 3).

Now divide each of the constants in the

binomials by the leading coefficient, 3.

So we have (x - 5/3)(x - 3/3).

Simplify to get (x - 5/3)(x - 1).

Now move any denominators in front of the x in the binomial.

Moving the 3 in front of the x, we have 3x.

So our answer is (3x - 5)(x - 1) = 0.

So either 3x - 5 = 0 or x - 1 = 0.

Solving from here, we get x = 5/3 or x = 1.

Theorem: the sum of any two even integers equals 4k for some integer k. "proof: suppose m and n are any two even integers. by de

icang [17]

Remark

The proof is only true if m and n are equal. Make it more general.

m = 2k

n = 2v

m + n = 2k + 2v = 2(k + v).

k and v can be equal but many times they are not. From that simple equation you cannot do anything for sure but divide by 2.

There are 4 combinations

m is divisible by 4 and n is not. The result will not be divisible by 4.

m is not divisible by 4 but n is. The result will not be divisible by 4.

But are divisible by 4 then the sum will be as well. Here's the really odd result

If both are even and not divisible by 4 then their sum is divisible by 4
