Either X or Y is negative. One has to be
2(2x + 3) + 2(x=1)
if they give you x just sub in
Steps to solve:
5x² = 15x
~Subtract 15x to both sides
5x² - 15x = 15x - 15x
~Simplify
5x² - 15x = 0
~Factor left side
5x(x - 3) = 0
~Factors equal 0
5x = 0 and x - 3 = 0
___________
~Simplify 5x = 0
5x/5 = 0/5
x = 0
~Simplify x - 3 = 0
x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3
x = 3
___________
Thus, the correct answer is 0, 3.
___________
Best of Luck!
0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s Subtract 4.5s from both sides
-4s + 1 = 7 Subtract 1 from both sides
-4s = 6 Divide both sides by -4
s = -

Simplify
s = -
Let's look at the equation:
0.243x=117.369
Divide each side by 0.243.
X=483
So, the number is 483.
