Solve for x: -41|x + 5| = -16

Stolb23 [73]

The correct answer should be A because you have to have a common denominator in order to solve so you take 5/6x and 4/6x and solve.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<u>How can </u><u>we</u><u> factor 5x^2 + 26x - 24 = 0 using the completing the square </u><u>method?</u>

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

$\bold{Given \: Equation: \color{brown} 5x²+26x-24=0}$

First, add 24 to both sides.

$\bold{5x²+26x-24 - \purple{ 24} = 0 + \purple{24}}$

$\bold{ \implies \: 5x²+26x = 24 }$

Since the coefficient of 5x² is 5, divide both sides by 5.

$\bold{ \frac{5 {x}^{2} + 26x }{5} = \frac{24}{5} } \\$

$\bold{ \implies \: {x}^{2} + \frac{26}{5} x = \frac{24}{5} } \\$

The coefficient of 26/5x is 26/5. So, let b=26/5.

Then we need to add (b/2)²=169/25 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 169/25 to both sides.

$\bold{ {x}^{2} + \frac{26}{5} x + \frac{ \purple{169}}{ \purple{25}}= \frac{24}{5} + \frac{ \purple{169}}{ \purple{25}} } \\$

$\bold{ \implies \:\bold{ {x}^{2} + \frac{26}{5} x + \frac{ 169}{ {25}}= \frac{289}{25} } } \\$

Factor the left side.

$\bold{(x + \frac{13}{5} ) {}^{2} = \frac{289}{25} } \\$

Take square root.

$\bold{x + \frac{13}{5} = ± \: \sqrt{ \frac{289}{25} }} \\$

Then, add (-13)/5 to both sides.

$\bold{x + \frac{13}{5} + \frac{\purple{ - 13} }{\purple{ 5}} = \frac{{ - 13} }{{ 5}} ± \: \sqrt{ \frac{289}{25}}} \\$

$\bold{ \: x = \frac{ - 13}{5} ± \sqrt{ \frac{289}{25} } } \\$

$\implies \: \underline{ \boxed{ \bold{ \frac{4}{5} } \sf \: \: or \: \: \bold{ x = - 6}}} \\$

39. Solve for x. SHOW ALL WORK FOR FULL CREDIT m n 6x-4 112°

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 4 and 112 are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , that is

6x - 4 + 112 = 180

6x + 108 = 180 ( subtract 108 from both sides )

6x = 72 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 12

Tristan is 22 years younger than Sydney. 8 years ago, Sydney's age was 2 times Tristan's age. How old is Tristan now?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Sydney is 52 years old, and Tristan is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Tristan's age by t and Sydney's by s.

Then s - 8 = 2(t - 8), and t = s - 22

Substituting s - 22 in the first equation, we get:

s - 8 = 2(s - 22 - 8), or

s - 8 = 2s - 60

Solving for s: -2s + s = -60 + 8, or -s = -52.

Sydney is 52 years old, and Tristan is 30.

The Scooter Company manufactures and sells electric scooters. Each scooter cost $150 to produce, and the company has a fixed cos

jeka94

The function that represents the Scooter Company's total profit is given by:

P(x) = -2x² + 250x - 2,000.

<h3>How to calculate the profit function?</h3>

The profit function is calculated by the <u>revenue function subtracted by the cost function</u>, hence:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x).

In this problem, we have that:

The revenue function is: R(x) = 400x - 2x².

The cost function is: X(x) = 150x + 2000.

Hence the profit function is:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x).

P(x) = 400x - 2x² - (150x + 2000).

P(x) = -2x² + 250x - 2,000.
