Answer:

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

With Distributive property, we get 4x + 4 = -6. Subtract 4 from both sides and we get 4x = -10. Divide both sides by 4 and we get x = -5/2.

The sum of a whole number and twice the square of the number is 10. Find the number.

Answer:

x = $\frac{10}{1 + 2x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

x + 2x² = 10

Factorize x + 2x²

x(1 + 2x) = 10

Divide both sides by (1 + 2x)

x = $\frac{10}{1 + 2x}$

Pls help me in these two little exercises about the slope.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

3) $y=\dfrac35x+\dfrac25$

4) a) $y=-2x+7$

b) $y=\dfrac12x+\dfrac92$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exercise 3</u>

$-3x + 5y = 2$

$\implies 5y = 3x + 2$

$\implies y=\dfrac35x+\dfrac25$

<u>Exercise 4</u>

a) If L2 is parallel to L1, it has the same slope (gradient) ⇒ $m = -2$

If L2 passes through point (3, 1):

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$\implies y-1=-2(x-3)$

$\implies y=-2x+7$

So L2 = L1

b) If L3 is perpendicular to L1, then the slope of L3 is the negative reciprocals of the slope of L1 ⇒ $m = \dfrac12$

If L3 passes through point (-5, 2):

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$\implies y-2=\dfrac12(x+5)$

$\implies y=\dfrac12x+\dfrac92$

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x+6)(3x-2)

"foil" it out

F: 5x * 3x = 15x^2

O: 5x * -2 = -10x

I: 6*3x = 18x
