What are the solutions of -x^2+4x=x-4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Stolb23 [73]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = -1 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Get everything to one side of the equation so it's set equal to zero..

-x² + 4x = x - 4  becomes...

  -x² + 3x + 4 = 0        (subtract x and add 4 to both sides)

    x² - 3x - 4 = 0  (divide both sides by -1, we want the x² term to be positive)

   (x - 4)(x + 1) = 0          (factor)

      so

x - 4 = 0,    then x = 4

and

x + 1 = 0,   then x = -1

juin [17]

Answer:

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a function that can be used to describe the x th term of the sequence

Mathematically, this can be calculated by looking at the numbers in the sequence

The difference between each successive term

is -1.5 ( 6.5-8, 3.5 -5)

So the formula for then x th term will be;

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

where x refers to the number of the term , for example the 4th term

alex41 [277]
X=amount of money woman has
n=pounds of sugar 
Store #1: 8.5*n=x+30
Store #2: 8*n=x-25

multiply #2 by 17/16 to make coefficient of n same as in #1

2: 8.5*n=17/16(x-25)

Subtract #2 from #1

0=x+30-17/16(x-25)
x+30-17x/16 +25*17/16
x/16=30+25*17/16
x=480+425
=905 cents
=$9.05
