Answer: X= -1 OR X= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Equate ( x-5)² since it occurred twice, hence the reason 2 is added in front of (x-5)²

= (x-5)²

= (x-5)(x-5)

= (x²-5x-5x+25)

= (x²-10x+25)

Step 2: multiply the result by two since it occurs twice and also bring the equation

= 2 (x²-10x+25) +7 = 79

= 2x²- 20x+50+7 = 79

= 2x²- 20x+57 =79

Step 3: most quadratic equation are always equal to zero, let's make this one equal to Zero by subtracting 79 from both sides

= 2x²-20x+57-79 = 79-79

= 2x²-20x-22=0

Step 4: divide the equation by a common number to get the least coefficient of the three coefficients

Dividing the three by 2

(2x²-20x-22)/2 = x²- 10x- 11

Step 5: Factorise completely

Sub step 1 : the first term in the equation is X² which makes the first term coefficient 1; the second term in the equation is -10x which makes the second term coefficient -10, the constant has a coefficient of -11

Sub step 2: multiply the coefficient of the first term (1) and the constant (-11) which gives us (-11)

1*-11 = -11

Sub step 3: Get two numbers in such a way that the addition of the first number and the second number gives the second coefficient in the quadratic equation and the multiplication of the two numbers will give us the product of the first coefficient and the constant.

And the two numbers is +1 and -11, the sum of the two numbers will give us -10 and the product will give us -11.

Step 6: slot the two numbers (+1, -11) into the equation by making themr replace the second coefficient

x²-10x-11=0

= x²+x-11x-11 =0

Step 7: split the equation into two and Factorise further

= (x²+x)(-11x-11) =0

= x(x+1)-11(x+1) = 0

= x+1= 0 or x-11 =0

Step 8 split them into individual equation

= x+1= 0.

Subtract 1 from both sides

= X+1-1=0-1

= x= -1

Or X should be

= x-11=0

Add 11 to both sides

= X-11+11 = 0+11

= x= 11

Determine if a slope of two consecutive sides are parallel or neither? ​
inessss [21]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive sides means that the two sides are connected in a shape by a vertex. If the sides were parallel, they would have to be right on top of each other, so two consecutive sides cannot be parallel.

Consider the linear system of equations. y = –x + 9 y = 0.5x – 6 If the solution is (a,–1), what is a? a =
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the solution given, x = a and y = -1

Substitute for x and y in either of the equations

y = -x + 9

-1 = -a + 9

a = 9 + 1 = 10

Serjik [45]

Answer:

m=2-2

m=0

Step-by-step explanation:

U need to do substitution

So u carry both 2 from that side to cross the equal to sign. One becomes positive because it is carrying a negative sign at the other side

On Friday, Beth sold 2 pitchers of lemonade from her lemonade stand. On Saturday, she sold 2 1/2 times as much lemonade as on Fr
Blababa [14]

Answer:

She sold 5 pitchers of lemonade.

Step-by-step explanation:

She sold 2 on Friday and she sold 2 1/2 times that on Saturday so we have to do 2 x 2 1/2 in other words 2 x 2.5 which gives you 5.

Expand and simplify (x+5)(x-2)
lukranit [14]

Answer:

x² + 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Each factor in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2) ← distribute each parenthesis

= x² - 2x + 5x - 10 ← collect like terms

= x² + 3x - 10
