So what you need to do in an equation like this is first to distribute meaning the number directly outside the parentheses needs to be multiplied by the numbers inside the parentheses:
3x + 6 = 5 then: subtract each side by six
3x = -1 now: divide each side by 3 to get x by itself
x = -1/3

Factorise fully x^3-x
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

x(x+1)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that the two terms share an x, so we can pull that out:

x^3-x=x(x^2-1)

Now notice that we have a difference of squares (x^2-1). Given a difference of squares, a^2-b^2, this can always be factored into (a+b)(a-b). We can use this in this case: x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1).

So, our final factorized form is: x(x+1)(x-1).

Hope this helps!

Find the equation of the line parallel to y=x-3 that also intersects the points (3,-2)
Reika [66]

Answer:

y = x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line.

To find c substitute (3, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = 3 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 3 = - 5

y = x - 5 ← equation of parallel line
