Answer:

799

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the hundreds digit

Let y = the ones digit

x = y-2

We want to maximize x and y. The both have to be single digit numbers

Rewriting this

x+2 =y

The largest x can be is 7 if y is a single digit

x is 7 and y is 9

We can pick the tens digit. Make it as big as possible to make out number as large as possible

What is the solution: (9x+2)(4x^2+35x-9)=0

Dmitrij [34]

$(9x+2)(4x^2+35x-9)=0\\\\9x+2=0\\9x=-2\\x=-\frac29\\or\\4x^2+35x-9=0\\\Delta=1225+144=1369\ \ \sqrt{\Delta}=37\\x_1=\frac{-35-37}{2 \cdot 4}=-9\\\\x_2=\frac{-35+37}{2\cdot 4}=\frac14\\\\x\in\{-9,-\frac29,\frac14\}$

What is the value of x?<br> Please show the steps

nordsb [41]

Let D be the endpoint of the angle bisector opposite A on lying on side BC. The angle bisector theorem states that the ratio of BD to CD is equal to the ratio of AB to AC. In this case, you have

$\dfrac{2x-1}{3x}=\dfrac9{15}$

(This is the same equation that you have, it's just rearranged.)

Multiply both sides by $3x$ and 15.

$15\times3x\times\dfrac{2x-1}{3x}=15\times3x\times\dfrac9{15}$
$15(2x-1)=3x\times9$

Now you can solve for $x$ .

$30x-15=27x$
$3x=15$
$x=5$
