Answer:
x=60
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you meant this: (x/5)-8=4
In which case you would add 8 to both sides to get rid of the 8 on the left (your goal is to get x by itself so you want to move the numbers on the x side to the other side of the equal sign)
(x/5)=12
Then you would multiply 5 on both sides to get rid of the fraction with the 5 on the bottom on the left side.
x=60
There's your answer.
The price of less expensive equipment is $1575.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Price of one equipment = x
Price of other equipment = y
According to given statement;
x+y=4000 Eqn 1
x = y+850 Eqn 2
Putting Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 2;

Putting y=1575 in Eqn 2;

The price of less expensive equipment is $1575.

The correct answer is 1 inch.
Answer:
b = 15.7 -2a
Step-by-step explanation:
You are asking us to solve for b
2a +b = 15.7
Subtract 2a from each side
2a-2a+b = 15.7 -2a
b = 15.7 -2a

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, +3. So:
| 2 -7 8 -3
<u>1 | 2 -5 3</u>
| 2 -5 3 0
<u> 1 | 2 -3 </u>
2 -3 0
So the factorization is (x-1)² (2x-3)=0. So:


Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -4 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4. So:
| 1 -1 0 -4
<u>2 | 2 2 </u>
1 2 2 0
So the factorization is (x-2)(x²+x+2)=0 . When calculating the discriminant of the trinomial, it is concluded that it has no roots since the result is negative. So you only have one solution.


Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of 2 are 1, -1, 2, -2. So:
| 6 7 9 2
<u>-2 | -12 10 -2</u>
6 -5 1 0
So the factorization is (x+2)(6x²-5x+1)=0 . The quadratic equation is solved by the general formula:
