How to you solve x2 -20x -17 = -53

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

solve for x

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x2-20x-17=-53

reorder like terms x2= 2x       2x=20x-17=-53

collect like terms 2x-20x=-18x           -18x-17=-53

move constant to the right hand side and change its sign   -18x=-53+17

calculate the sum -53+17= -36         -18x=-36

divide both sides by -18  -18x÷-18= x        -36÷-18=2

x=2

The equation that represents the relationship between the number of liters, x, and the number of liquid pints, y is y = 2.11x

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The attached table of values represents the missing piece in the question.

Start by calculating the rate of change using:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

This gives

m = (14.77 - 10.55)/(7- 5)

Evaluate

m = 2.11

The equation is then calculated using:

y = m(x - x1) + y1

This gives

y = 2.11(x - 5) + 10.55

Evaluate

y = 2.11x - 10.55 + 10.55

y = 2.11x

Hence, the equation that represents the relationship between the number of liters, x, and the number of liquid pints, y is y = 2.11x
