Answer:

That can be re-written:

x^2 + 5x -8 = 0

We use the Quadratic Formula

a=1

b = 5

c = -8

x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [-5 +- sq root (25 - - 32)] / 2

x1 = [-5 + sq root (57)] / 2

x1 = 1.27491722

x2 = [-5 - sq root (57)] / 2

x2 = -6.2749172176

Solve for x. 3(3x - 1) + 2(3 - x) = 0
olga nikolaevna [1]
The equation given in the question is
3(3x - 1) + 2(3 - x) = 0
9x - 3 + 6 - 3x = 0
6x + 3 = 0
6x = - 3
x = - (3/6)
   = - (1/2)
So the value of x as has been determined above is -1/2. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.<span>You can always use this method for solving problems that are similar in type without requiring any help from outside. </span>

56of the 90pets in the pet show are cats 4/5of the cats are calico cats. What fraction of the pets are calico cats?
meriva
To get the answer, we can divide 56 by 5 to find one fifth of the cats. Then, we can multiply this number to get four fifths of the cats. Then, we put this number over 90 since there is 90 pets in the entire show. Then, this answer ends up being about half all of the pets are calicos.

-(1/2)p<-16

Divide both sides by the coefficient of p. Flip the inequality sign because you are dividing a negative number.

What is -2+6X= -8. x=<br>​
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

-2+6x=-8

Add 2 to both sides. The left cancels:

6x=-6

Divide both sides by 6. The left cancels:

x=-1

So, the value of x is -1.

And we're done!
