Answer:
(x + 2)^2 - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 4x + 1
= (x^2 + 4x + 2 - 2 + 1)
= (x + 2)^2 - 1
Answer:
145
Step-by-step explanation:
six can go into eight once with a remainder of two, next you bring down the seven and you will get twenty seven, six can go into twenty seven four times six by four is 24,27 take away 24 is 3 then you bring down the one, six can go into 31 five times, six by five is 30, 31 take away 30 is one
1.) Solve for x:
5 x + 7 = 3 x + 21
Subtract 3 x from both sides:
(5 x - 3 x) + 7 = (3 x - 3 x) + 21
5 x - 3 x = 2 x:
2 x + 7 = (3 x - 3 x) + 21
3 x - 3 x = 0:
2 x + 7 = 21
Subtract 7 from both sides:
2 x + (7 - 7) = 21 - 7
7 - 7 = 0:
2 x = 21 - 7
21 - 7 = 14:
2 x = 14
Divide both sides of 2 x = 14 by 2:
(2 x)/2 = 14/2
2/2 = 1:
x = 14/2
The gcd of 14 and 2 is 2, so 14/2 = (2×7)/(2×1) = 2/2×7 = 7:
Answer: x = 7

2.) Solve for x:
3 x - 2 (5 - x) = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)
-2 (5 - x) = 2 x - 10:
2 x - 10 + 3 x = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)
Grouping like terms, 3 x + 2 x - 10 = (3 x + 2 x) - 10:
(3 x + 2 x) - 10 = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)
3 x + 2 x = 5 x:
5 x - 10 = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)
-3 (x - 10) = 30 - 3 x:
5 x - 10 = 30 - 3 x + 3 x
3 x - 3 x = 0:
5 x - 10 = 30
Add 10 to both sides:
5 x + (10 - 10) = 10 + 30
10 - 10 = 0:
5 x = 30 + 10
30 + 10 = 40:
5 x = 40
Divide both sides of 5 x = 40 by 5:
(5 x)/5 = 40/5
5/5 = 1:
x = 40/5
The gcd of 40 and 5 is 5, so 40/5 = (5×8)/(5×1) = 5/5×8 = 8:
<span>Answer: x = 8

3.) Solve for x:</span>
5 (x + 1) = 3 (2 x + 3) + 5
3 (2 x + 3) = 6 x + 9:
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + 9 + 5
Grouping like terms, 6 x + 5 + 9 = 6 x + (9 + 5):
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + (9 + 5)
9 + 5 = 14:
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + 14
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
5 x + 5 = 6 x + 14
Subtract 6 x from both sides:
(5 x - 6 x) + 5 = (6 x - 6 x) + 14
5 x - 6 x = -x:
-x + 5 = (6 x - 6 x) + 14
6 x - 6 x = 0:
5 - x = 14
Subtract 5 from both sides:
(5 - 5) - x = 14 - 5
5 - 5 = 0:
-x = 14 - 5
14 - 5 = 9:
-x = 9
Multiply both sides of -x = 9 by -1:
(-x)/(-1) = -9
(-1)/(-1) = 1:
<span>Answer: x = -9</span>
Answer: Rate of water flow is 12/5 gallon per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Volume of faucet pot = 2 gallon
Time taken to fill the faucet pot = 5/6 of a minute = (5/6) minute.
Rate of water flow:
Volume of faucet pot / time taken
= 2 gallon ÷ (5/6) minute
= 2 gallon × (6/5) minutes
= (12 /5) gallon / minute
= 2 2/5 gallon / minute
Hence rate of water flow is 12/5 gallon per minute.
