Answer:

2(x + 1) = 10

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2(x + 1) = 10

Solution:

Apply Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

This means multiply 2 with x and 1

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)

2x + 2 = 10      

Use Subtraction property of equality

A = B, then A - C = B - C

Subtracting 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

2x = 8                  Step 3

Use Division property of equality

It state that if you divide both sides of an equation by same nonzero number then the sides remain equal

Dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

This means value of x is 4

Another method to solve this equation is:

2(x+1)=10  

Use Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)  

2*(x+1) = 2x + 2  

Use commutative property

A + (-B) = (-B) + A

2x + 2 + (-2) = 2x + (-2) + 2

2x + 2 + (-2) = 10 + (-2)

2x + 2 - 2 = 10-2  

2x = 8  

Using division property

AX = B  

AX / A = B / A

So

X = B/A

This becomes:

2x = 8

2x = 8.

Divide both sides by 2  

2x / 2 = 8 / 2  

x = 4

Answer:

  21x² +20x +100 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the sum of the roots of x² +bx +c = 0 is -b, and their product is c. If the roots are α and β, then ...

  • α+β = -b
  • αβ = c

The sum of the roots of the new equation will be ...

  -b' = (α+1/β)+(β+1/α) = (α+β) +(1/α +1/β) = (α+β)(1 +1/(αβ))

The product of the roots of the new equation will be ...

  c' = (α+1/β)(β+1/α) = αβ +2 +1/(αβ)

Using the above relations for (α+β) and αβ, we find that ...

  -b' = (-b)(1 +1/c)

  c' = c + 2 + 1/c

For the given equation, our definition of b and c is ...

  b = 2/3

  c = 7/3

so the new equation has values ...

  b' = (2/3)(1 + 1/(7/3) = (2/3)(10/7) = 20/21

  c' = 7/3 + 2 + 1/(7/3) = 13/3 + 3/7 = 100/21

So, the equation with the roots of interest is ...

  x² +20/21x +100/21 = 0

Multiplying by 21 gives ...

  21x² +20x +100 = 0
