-(-5 - 6x) = 4 (5x +3)

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the first bracket

-1(-5-6x)= 4(5x+3)

Mutiply the first bracket by -1

(-1)(-5)(-1)(-6x)= 5+6x

Mutiply the second bracket by 4

(4)(5x)(4)(3)= 20x+12

5+6x= 20x+12

move 20x to the other side

5+6x-20x= 20x-20x+12

5+6x-20x= 12

5-14x= 12

move 5 to the other side

sign changes from +5 to -5.

5-5-14x= 12-5

-14x=7

divide by -14

-14x/-14= 7/-14

x= -1/2

Answer: x= -1/2

Find the missing side length, and enter your answer in the box below. If
Savatey [412]

The missing side length is c = 25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The given triangle has a 24 unit long adjacent side and a 7 unit long opposite side.

As we have two sides of the triangle, we can solve for the length of the other side by using Pythagoras' theorem.

The length of the hypotenuse is given as c units.

Step 2:

According to Pythagoras theorem,

c^{2} = 24^{2} + 7^{2} = 576 + 49.

c^{2} = 625, c = 25.

So the missing length, c of the given triangle is 25 units.

Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the zero product property? Select each correct answer.
LekaFEV [45]
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.

For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to: (x-3)(x+4)=0

Through zero property we know that the factor (x-3) can be equal to zero as well as (x+4). This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.

The zero product property is best applied to factorable quadratic equations in this case.

Another factorable equation would be 2x^{2}+6x=0 since we can factor out 2x and end up with 2x(x+3)=0. Now we'll end up with two factors, 2x and (x+3), which we can apply the zero product property to.

The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.
