Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sorry, but I won't be explaining it, however I will show every step.

Let's begin.

4x - 12 = -7x - 111

4x - 12 + 7x = -7x - 111 + 7x

11x - 12 = -111

11x - 12 + 111 = -111 + 111

11x + 99 = 0

11x + 99 - 99 = 0 - 99

11x = -99

11x/11 = -99/11

x = -9

−3 2/3=x−1 1/4 pls help

slega [8]

Answer:

- 2 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

−3 2/3 = x − 1 1/4
x = - 3 2/3 + 1 1/4
x = - 2 - 2/3 + 1/4
x = - 2 - 8/12 + 3/12
x = - 2 - 5/12
x = - 2 5/12

Suppose the roots of the equation 2x^2−5x−6=0 are α and β.Find the quadratic equation with roots 1/α and 1/β.

Answer:

6x² + 5x - 2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² - 5x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 2, b = - 5, c = - 6, then

sum of roots α + β = - $\frac{b}{a}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

product of roots = $\frac{c}{a}$ = - 3, then

sum of new roots = $\frac{1}{\alpha }$ + $\frac{1}{\beta }$

= $\frac{\beta+\alpha }{\alpha \beta }$

= $\frac{\frac{5}{2} }{-3}$ = - $\frac{5}{6}$

product of new roots = $\frac{1}{\alpha }$ × $\frac{1}{\beta }$

= $\frac{1}{\alpha\beta }$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Hence the required equation is

x² + $\frac{5}{6}$ x - $\frac{1}{3}$ = 0 or

6x² + 5x - 2 = 0 ( multiplying through by 6 )
