Answer:
x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5 − 10x − 3x² = 0
Write in standard form:
-3x² − 10x + 5 = 0
Solve with quadratic formula:
x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a
x = [ -(-10) ± √((-10)² − 4(-3)(5)) ] / 2(-3)
x = [ 10 ± √(100 + 60) ] / -6
x = (10 ± 4√10) / -6
x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3
I think it may be 5+3 and carry the one up top to get the sum of 56.
Answer:
x= 6 1/2 or 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4^x-5 =8
2^2(x-5) =2^3
since the base is equal, the powers are equal
2(x-5) = 3
2x - 10 = 3
2x = 3 + 10
2x = 13
2x/2 = 13/2
x = 6 1/2 or 6.5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract p on both sides.


Divide both sides by pr.


For when x=2, You get 14.
For when x=3, You get 11.
Therefore, x=2 gives a bigger value.
