Answer:
3x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Take some trinomial expansions to find some useful expressions and their values.
• 2nd degree expansion

• 3rd degree expansion

• 4th degree expansion

Simplify:



Then the equation we got from the 4th degree expansion reduces to

and all we need now is the value of
.
In the 3rd degree expansion, we have

So, we end up with

Answer:
x=-0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
6.8x + 9.3= -9.4 + 3.4 (2-5x)
6.8x + 9.3 = -9.4 + 6.8 - 17x
6.8x + 9.3 = -2.6 - 17x
22.8x = -11.9
x = -0.5
