Answer:
x=-3, x=1, x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have to find the zero of an equation like (x+3) all you have to do is solve for x.
x+3=0 equal the equation to zero
x+3-3=0-3 cancel out 3
x=-3 answer
If you have to find the zero of an equation like f(x)=-2x^2 - 5x + 7 then you would have to factor the equation.
7*-2=-14 multiply
-7 & 2 find the two numbers that when multiplied =14 and when added = -5
(2x^2 + 2) (-7x + 7) replace -5 with -7 & 2
-2x (x - 1) -7 (x - 1) factor
(x - 1) (-2x - 7) rewrite
1st: x - 1 = 0
x = 1 : Answer
2nd: -2x - 7= 0
-2x - 7 + 7 = 0 + 7
-2x = 7
-2x / -2 = 7 / -2
x = 7 / -2 : Answer
The function is y=2x
this means that the solutions will have the form (x, y)=(x,2x).
For example: (0,0),(1,2),(2,4),(3,6) are solutions.
The first answer choice satisfies the above conditions.
The second answer choice contains (2,2), and (2,6), both of which do not satisfy the (x,2x) condition, so it's not correct.
The third answer choice contains (4,2), which again does not satisfy (x,2x), so not the right answer.
Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the equation as
x
/32
=
5/
8
Multiply both sides of the equation by 32
32 ⋅ x /32 = 32 ⋅ 5/8
Simplify both sides of the equation.
Cancel the common factor of
32
Cancel the common factor.
<h3><u>
32·</u> x/<u>32</u> · 5/8
</h3>
Rewrite the expression.
x = 32 ⋅ 5/8
Simplify
32⋅5/8
Cancel the common factor of
8
Factor 8 out of 32
x = 8 ( 4 ) ⋅ 5/8
Cancel the common factor.
Rewrite the expression.
x = 4 ⋅ 5
Multiply 4 by 5
Subtract to find the amount of the increase:
168 - 140 = 28
The increase in price was $28.
Now divide the amount of increase by the original price.
This will give you a decimal, then multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent:
28 / 140 = 0.2
0.2 x 100 = 20% increase.
