Answer:

x=6/5 or 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

I could not tell if your original problem was 2=-5x+8 or if it should have been 2x=-5x+8 so I solved both

2= -5x+8 (next subtract 8 from both sides)

-6= -5x (divide both sides by -5)

-6/-5=x (the negative cancel out next)

6/5 or 1.20 is x

If your original problem should say 2x=-5x+8

2x=-5x+8 (add 5x to both sides next)

7x=8 (divide by 7 on both sides)

x=8/7

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x - 6 = 8x + 16

8x - 3x = 16 - 6 (subtract like terms)

5x = 10 (divide by 5)

x = 2

Divide the rational expressions and express in simplest form. When typing your answer for the numerator and denominator be sure

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiply by its reciprocal, then:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3y^2-7y-6}{2y^2-3y-9}\div\frac{y^2+y-2}{2y^2+y-3^{}}= \\ =\frac{3y^2-7y-6}{2y^2-3y-9}\cdot\frac{2y^2+y-3}{y^2+y-2}= \\ =\frac{(3y^2-7y-6)(2y^2+y-3)}{(2y^2-3y-9)(y^2+y-2)} \end{gathered}$

Now, we need to express the quadratic polynomials using their roots, as follows:

$ay^2+by+c=a(y-y_1)(y-y_2)$

where y1 and y2 are the roots.

Applying the quadratic formula to the first polynomial:

$\begin{gathered} y_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{7\pm\sqrt[]{(-7)^2-4\cdot3\cdot(-6)}}{2\cdot3} \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{7\pm\sqrt[]{121}}{6} \\ y_1=\frac{7+11}{6}=3 \\ y_2=\frac{7-11}{6}=-\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}$

Applying the quadratic formula to the second polynomial:

$\begin{gathered} y_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt[]{1^2-4\cdot2\cdot(-3)}}{2\cdot2} \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt[]{25}}{4} \\ y_1=\frac{-1+5}{4}=1 \\ y_2=\frac{-1-5}{4}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Applying the quadratic formula to the third polynomial:

$\begin{gathered} y_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{3\pm\sqrt[]{(-3)^2-4\cdot2\cdot(-9)}}{2\cdot2} \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{3\pm\sqrt[]{81}}{4} \\ y_1=\frac{3+9}{4}=3 \\ y_2=\frac{3-9}{4}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Applying the quadratic formula to the fourth polynomial:

$\begin{gathered} y_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt[]{1^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-2)}}{2\cdot1} \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt[]{9}}{2} \\ y_1=\frac{-1+3}{2}=1 \\ y_2=\frac{-1-3}{2}=-2 \end{gathered}$

Substituting into the rational expression and simplifying:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3(y-3)(y+\frac{2}{3})2(y-1)(y+\frac{3}{2})}{2(y-3)(y+\frac{3}{2})(y-1)(y+2)}= \\ =\frac{3(y+\frac{2}{3})}{2(y+2)}= \\ =\frac{3y+2}{2y+4} \end{gathered}$

-7x-3x+2=-8x-2 can you please show your work how

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 7x - 3x + 2 = - 8x - 2 ← simplify left side

- 10x + 2 = - 8x - 2 ( add 8x to both sides )

- 2x + 2 = - 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 2
