There is a similar shortcut for multiplying decimal numbers by numbers such as 10, 100, and 1000: Move the decimal point to the right as many places as there are zeros in the factor. Move the decimal point one step to the right (10 has one zero). Move the decimal point two steps to the right (100 has two zeros).
Answer:
x = 2, x = -5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + x - 10 = 0
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
1.No error , he divided by 16 in the 2 sides .
2.no error ,he made sure that 16/16 is one while d/16 remains
3.no error , he square rooted both sides
4.error, as the root gives one positive value and one negative value not only a positive value ,the answer should have been t=+-(d/4)
5.error,he disturbed the whole equation by rooting d only he should have rooted both sides
Well, solve for x.
Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation
The 4x's will cross out on the right
4x - 4x = 0x = 0
On the left:
2x - 4x = -2x
Now the equation looks like:
-2x + 3 = 2
Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
3 - 3 = 0
On the right:
2 - 3 = -1
Equation:
-2x = -1
Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
-2x ÷ -2 = 1
On the right:
-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2
x= 1/2
So, there is only one solution: 1/2
