Answer:
X=9 and X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
So you want to get one side to equal zero so you can factor and find x. I recommend subtracting 14x and adding 45 to both sides so you don't have to deal with a negative quadratic.
X^2 - 14X +45 = 0
Now you can factor. Your looking for two factors that equal 45 and add to -14
All factors of 45:
1 and 45, 3 and 15, 5 and 9, -1 and -45,
-3 and -15, -5 and -9
So out of those combinations -5 and -9 both multiply to 45 and add up to -14 so these are our common factors
(X-5)(X-9)=0
X-5=0 add 5 to both sides X=5
X-9=0 add 9 to both sides X=9
That sequence is not geometric or arithmetic
it is not changing or doing anything it is just remaining the same.
it would be geometric if it was:
1+1-1+1-1+1........
It would be -15 I think just calculate it to make sure xx
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
if ABC ~ DEF than AB ~ ED, AC ~ DF, and CB ~ FE
The ratio of AB to ED is given as 5/30 = 1/6
For AC ~ ED the ratio would be same x/42 = 1/6 cross multiply it
6x = 42
x = 7
