Combine like terms and use inverse operations
Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 (4 - x) = 12x – 3
-8+2x=12x-3
+8 +8
2x=12x+5
-12x -12x
-10x=5
/-10 /-10
= -1/2
Answer:
x = 24.27385%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say 96.4x=23.4
Divide by 96.4: (x=23.4/96.4) = 0.24273858921
x=0.24273858921 so x = 24.27385...%
Answer:
13 and -14 satisfy this condition
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent that number as x
and the square of x is x^2
So,
x + x^2 = 182
Subtract 182 from both sides
x + x^2 - 182 = 182 - 182
x + x^2 - 182 = 0
rearrange the quadratic equation
x^2 + x -182 = 0
let's use the quadratic formula
or 
a = 1, b = 1, c = -182
or 
or 
or 
or 
or 
13 or - 14
Lets check
13 + 13^2 = 13 + 169
= 182
Also,
-14 + (-14^2) = -14 + 196
= 182
Mean because all of the data points are
fairly close and there aren't any outliers
(extreme values)
