Answer:

x-5=3x+1 (x=-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

5 less (_-5)

than a number (x)

is equivalent to (=)

1 more than (+1)

than three times the number (3x)

combine them all to get x-5=3x+1

extra:

add 5 to each side x=3x+6

subtract x from each side 0=2x+6

subtract 6 from each side -6=2x

divide each side by 2 -3=x

-a^2+46a-480=0 a - ?

sattari [20]

a = 30
a = 16

-a² + 46a -480 = 0

(-a + 30) (a -16) = 0
(-a)(a) + (-a)(-16) + 30(a) + 30(-16) = 0
-a² + 16a + 30a -480 = 0
-a² + 46a - 480 = 0

(-a + 30) = 0 ; (a - 16) = 0
-a = -30 ; a = 16
a = 30

To check:
a = 30
-(30)² + 46(30) - 480 = 0
-900 + 1380 - 480 = 0
480 - 480 = 0
0 = 0

a = 16
-(16)² + 46(16) - 480 = 0
-256 + 736 - 480 = 0
480 - 480 = 0
0 = 0
