Answer:
x = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
well from the theorem we have
yes i know you could say that the right way is
well if you notice they are the same only that in my way the x is in the numerator which means it will be far easier to know it's value :)
so
![\frac{15}{3}=\frac{x}{6}\\\\5=\frac{x}{6}\\\\6[5]=6[\frac{x}{6}]\\\\30=x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B3%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C5%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C6%5B5%5D%3D6%5B%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B6%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C30%3Dx)
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
It suffices to equate any two sides and then check whether the solution is valid for the third side.
Taking 2x and 3x-4 and equating:
2x = 3x-4
x = 4
This means the sides are both of length 8. Now check whether for x=4 the third side is also of length 8:
x+4=4+4=8
which indeed works out confirming x=4 being a valid solution
Answer: eyyyyyy my name is Jan what a coincidence
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25
"Completing the square" is one of many different techniques for solving a quadratic equation. What you do is add a constant to both sides of the equation such that the lefthand side can be factored into the form a(x+d)^2. For instance, squaring (X+D) = X^2 + 2DX + D^2. Notice the 2DX term. That is the same term as the 15x term in the problem. So 2D = 15, D = 7.5. And D^2 = 7.5^2 = 56.25.
So we have
x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 49 + 56.25
Which is
x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25
Which is the answer desired.
Now the rest of this is going beyond the answer. Namely, it's answering the question "Why does complementing the square help?"
Well, we know that the left hand side of the equation can now be written as
(x+7.5)^2 = 105.25
Now take the square root of each side
(x+7.5) = sqrt(105.25)
And let's use both the positive and negative square roots.
So
x+7.5 = 10.25914226
and
x+7.5 = -10.25914226
And let's find X.
x+7.5 = 10.25914226
x = 2.759142264
x+7.5 = -10.25914226
x = -17.75914226
So the roots for x^2 + 15x - 49 is 2.759142264, and -17.75914226</span>
