Answer:

<em><u>x = -0.5</u></em><em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>You need to combine like terms</em>

x * 2 + 5x = -6

<em>Add x to 5x</em>

6x * 2 = -6

<em>Divide 2 from both sides</em>

6x = -3

<em>Divide 6 from both sides to get x alone</em>

x = -0.5

<em>Hope this helps</em>

Answer:

S = {-2, -3}

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 5x = -6 is the start of a quadratic equation

to solve: bring -6 to the left side by adding 6, so the right side is equal to 0

x² + 5x + 6 = 0

there are multiple ways to solve this equation, two common ways you could use to solve is the quadratic formula or factoring. in this equation, factoring works and is a much shorter process than using the quadratic formula.

to factor is to basically break down the equation. so to break down the equation, we need to find what 2 numbers multiplied together equal 6, and what numbers added together equal 5? both numbers have to be the same numbers added together and multiplied. as in, you cant use 4 + 1 to make 5 and 2 times 3 to make 6.

the answer to this is 2 and 3, as 2 + 3 = 5 and 2 x 3 = 6.

so the equation replaced by factoring would be (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0.

where do the x's come from?: they come from x², one <em>x</em> for each factor.

to check if this factoring job works, you can use the FOIL method to check, which multiples the First two terms, the two Outside terms, the two Inside terms, and the Last two terms of each factor.

moving on to the next step in finding the final answer, you would set (x + 2) and (x + 3) equal to 0 and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 <-- subtract 2 from both sides to get x alone

x = -2

x + 3 = 0 <-- subtract 3 from both sides to get x alone

x = -3

so the solution to this equation would be {-2,-3}

If a sequence of 8 consecutive odd integers with increasing values has 9 as its seventh term. What is the sum of the terms of th
klemol [59]

Answer:

Sum = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sequence = Consecutive Odds

T_7 = 9

Required

The sum of the terms

A sequence of odd number has a difference of 2. So, the sequence is represented as:

S = \{-3,-1,1,3,5,7,9,11\}

Add up all terms in the sequence

Sum = -3-1+1+3+5+7+9+11

Sum = 32

Identify the numerical coefficient, the variable,
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A numerical coefficient is a constant multiplier of the variables in a term. so it would be 3x cause it has a number and a variable.

a variable is a symbol which functions as a placeholder for varying expression or quantities, so x is the variable.

a constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change, because it does not contain any modifiable variables.  so it would be the 2

Logan wants to move to a new city. He gathered graphs of temperatures for two different cities. Which statements about the data
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The correct options are;

Therefore, City A is likely to have temperatures that remain fairly constant all year round because it has a compact interquartile range compared to that of City B

City B is likely to have more extreme temperatures with colder days in the winter and hotter days in the summer because the range is greater than that of A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have for City A

Maximum - Minimum = 10

Interquartile range =3

City B

Maximum - Minimum = 18.5

Interquartile range =9.5

Therefore, City A is likely to have temperatures that remain fairly constant all year round because it has a compact interquartile range compared to that of City B

City B is likely to have more extreme temperatures with colder days in the winter and hotter days in the summer because the range is greater than that of A.
