Two consecutive odd number have the form: 2n+1; 2n+3.
We have:
(2n+1)(2n+3)=399
=> 4x^2+8x+3=399
=> 4x^2+8x-396=0
=> 4(x+11)(x-9)=0
=> x=-11; x=9
Answer:
$3.74
Step-by-step explanation:
we already know the cost of the banana's and it gives us the total price including apples. So $5.24 - $1.50 = $3.74, and the 3.74 is the cost of apples
Answer:
Distribute
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute . 9x+18=90
Subtract 9x=72
Divide x=8
Answer:
x =7
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
- A geometric sequence always has terms that are separated by a common ratio. For example 3 9 27 81 243 ....
- Each term is multiplied by a common number and the term before it. In this case the common term is 3.
- To get the next term after 9, you multiply 9 by 3.
- To get the common ratio divide the second term by the first and then the third term by the second
Equation
(x + 2)/(x - 4) = (3x + 6)/ (x + 2)
Solution
I would begin this problem by taking out the common factor on the top right term. You'll see why in a second.
(x + 2)/(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)/ (x + 2) Notice the two binomials on the right cancel.
- (x + 2)/(x - 4) = 3/1 Cross multiply
- (x + 2)*1 = 3*(x - 4) Remove the brackets on the right.
- x + 2 = 3x - 12 Add 12 on both sides.
- x + 2 + 12 = 3x - 12 + 12 Simplify
- x + 14 = 3x Subtract x from both sides
- 14 = 3x - x
- 2x = 14 Divide by 2
- x = 14/2
- x = 7
I hated doing that stuff, it was a pain for me
