Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate x on one side of the equation.

2x-71+71=12+71 (First, add 71 from both sides.)

12+71 (Solve.)

12+71=83

2x=83

2x/2=83/2 (Then, divide by 2 from both sides.)

83/2 (Solve.)

83/2=41.5

x=83/2=41.5

So, the correct answer is x=83/2=41.5.

Write the equation for:

xenn [34]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} x +x = 2 (x-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose number is x

Following equation can be written from question statement

$\frac{1}{2} x +x = 2 (x-4)$

Simplifying it further

$\frac{3}{2} x = 2x-8$

$\frac{3}{2} x -2x=-8$

$\frac{3x-4x}{2}= -8$

$-x= -16\\x=16$

3x^3-2x^2-147x+98=(ax-c)(bx+d)(bx-d) where a,b,c and d positive integers. Work out the value of a,b,c and d

Alexxx [7]

Expand the right side:

$(ax-c)(bx+d)(bx-d)=(ax-c)(b^2x^2-d^2)$

$=ab^2x^3-b^2cx^2-ad^2x+cd^2$

Notice that 98 = 2 * 7 * 7, so we have $c=2$ and $d=7$ .

Then

$-ad^2=-147\implies a=\dfrac{147}{49}=3$

and

$ab^2=3\implies b^2=1\implies b=1$
