Answer:

x = -1/2 ( 3±sqrt(37))

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x − 7 = 0

Add 7 to each side

x^2 + 3x =7

Using complete the square

Taking the coefficient of x

3

Divide by 2

3/2

Square it

(3/2)^2 = 9/4

Add this to each side

x^2 + 3x+ 9/4 = 7+9/4

( x+ 3/2) ^2 = 28/4 + 9/4

( x+ 3/2) ^2 = 37/4

Take the square root of each side

x+3/2 = ±sqrt(37/4)

x+3/2 = ±sqrt(37) / sqrt(4)

x+ 3/2 = ±sqrt(37) / 2

Subtract 3/2 from each side

x = -3/2 ±sqrt(37) / 2

x = -1/2 ( 3±sqrt(37))

Answer:

-1.5 -√9.25 or -1.5 +√9.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x - 7 = 0

This will not factor so we can use completing the square:

x^2 + 3x = 7

(x + 1.5)^2 - 2.25 = 7

(x + 1.5)^2 = 9.25

x + 1.5 = ±√9.25

x = -1.5 ±√9.25

The length of a rectangle is 8 feet more than its width. If the width is increased by 4 feet and the length is decreased by 5 fe
alexgriva [62]
Let the width be x.

Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8

Area = x(x + 8)

width increased by 4, that is,  (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5,    (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)

Area  = (x + 4)(x +3)

Area remains the same

x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)

x² + 8x =   x(x +3) + 4(x +3)

 x² + 8x =   x² +3x + 4x +12

x² + 8x =   x² +7x +12        Eliminate x² from both sides

8x = 7x + 12

8x - 7x = 12

x = 12

Dimensions of original rectangle :  x,  x + 8

12, 12 +8 =   12, 20

Original rectangle is   20 feet   by 12 feet

Please help me with my homework my homework question
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

(B) Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation, and then divide both sides by 2.

Can't read the second question fully.

(A) 0.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1:

If we have the equation 3x + 2 = 5x, our first goal is to get rid of the x term on one side.

To do this we can subtract 3x from both sides. This leaves our equation to 2=2x. To find x, we want to divide both sides by 2 since 2x divided by 2 is just x. Our goal is to isolate x.  This leaves x=1.

<em>I couldn't read Number 2 fully - I'm sorry :c</em>

<em></em>

Number 3:

Given the equation 3(x+0.2)=2.2, we want to isolate x on one side.

To do this, we first apply the distributive property to the left side.

3x + 0.6 = 2.2

Now subtract 0.6 from both sides:

3x=1.6

And divide both sides by 3.

x=0.5\overline{3}

This rounds to 0.53.

Hope this helped!
