Here is the problem.....√(15x + 10) = 2x+3
to remove the square root, we do the opposite which is to square everything.
(√(15x + 10))² = (2x + 3)² (the square negates the square root)
15x + 10 = (2x +3)(2x + 3) (use the distributive property to continue)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9 (combine like terms)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 12x + 9 (subtract 15x and 10 from each side)
-15x - 10 -15x - 10
0 = 4x² - 3x - 1 (factor completely)
(x - 1) (4x + 1) (set each to equal 0)
x - 1 = 0 4x + 1 = 0
x = 1 4x = -1
x = -1/4
place both into the equation to check for reasonableness...we see the negative number is not reasonable, but the x value of 1 is a solution.
answer is 1
Answer: 30 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
ABC-tringle
BH= 8 in - height
S= 120 in^2
AC-?
Solution:
S=1/2ab
120in=1/2a*8in
120=4a
4a=120
a=30 in
The first step for absolute value equations is to isolate the expression contained within the absolute value bars:
3|2x+4|-1 = 11
3|2x+4| = 12
|2x+4| = 4
so |2x+4| is 4 units away from 0 on a number line, but we don't know in which direction -- negative or positive? you'll have two answers.
2x+4 = 4
AND
2x+4 = -4
solve both of those two step equations and you'll get
x = 0
AND
x = -4
so 0 and -4 are your solutions.

I'm too tired to explain, here's some digital work on a site called Symbolab:
Answer:
21 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the circumference of the tire:
c = πd
c = 3.14(670)
c = 2103.8
Multiply by 10 to find the distance the bike has travelled:
2103.8*10 = 21,038
Convert millimeters to meters:
21,038 millimeters ≈ 21 meters
