Answer: x = 4 and x = -3/2
Procedure:
1) Given: 2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
2) Multiply both sides by : 2(2x^2) - 2(5x) - 2(12) = 0
3) Rearrange: (2x)^2 -5(2x) - 24 = 0
4) Notice that the common factor is (2x)
5) Set the parenthesis with the common factor inside:
(2x ) (2x ) =0
6) The first sign is the same sign of the second term of the trinomial, which is negative, the second sign is the product of the signs of the second and the third terms of the polynomial, which is (-)*(-) = + (positive)
(2x - )(2x + ) = 0
7) find two numbers that sum up - 5x and its product is -24.
- 8 + 3 = - 5
(-8)(+3) = -24
=> the numbers in the factors are -8 and +3
(2x - 8) (2x + 3) = 0
That is the factored equation. Now you can solve
8) a) 2x - 8 = 0 => 2x = 8 => x = 8/2 => x = 4
b) 2x + 3 = 0 => 2x = - 3 => x = - 3/2
Answer: the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -3/2
Answer:
Yes! When simplifying 15:60 by dividing each side by 3, you get 5:20, which is the same as 5:20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps <3
Your equation is presented in by the following formula of y = mx + b
m = slope, it is the coefficient of X
y = 4/5 X - 3
m = 4/5
1. First of all, this is a isosceles triangle, meaning measurement I=58°, which makes it way easier to find T.
1. m{t}°=64 m{I}°=58
2. This one is easy because algebra is the key.
Add like-terms.
x=5
The only thing that confuses me is the y. Is it 7xy, y as a side, or what? Feel free to reply
