First, it would help to simplify each side more:
Left side: 36 + 3(4x - 9) = 36 + 12x - 27 = 12x + 9
Right side: c(2x + 1) + 25 = 2cx + c + 25
Write the simplified equation:
12x + 9 = 2cx + c + 25
Usually when there is no solution, the coefficients of the variable on both sides are the same, so we can make the coefficient if x on the right side into 12:
2cx >>> 12x
Then, c must equal 6 to make this true.
The answer is choice (C).
Answer:
1)-5
2)-15
3)1
4)-11
5)-70
if negative use () for example
(-2)-7+4
Let the three consecutive number be x,x+1 and x+2.
It is given sum of three consecutive numbers is 46.
So,x+x+1+x+2=46
3x+3=46.
Subtracting 3 both sides
3x=46-3
3x=43.
x= 
Since is not an integer there is no true answer to this problem.
32x + 53 = 501
-53 - 53
<u>32x</u> = <u>448</u>
32 32
x = 14
Every number has three cube roots.
The only real cube root of -64 is <em>-4</em> .
The other two cube roots of -64 are a pair of complex conjugates.
I'm too lazy to calculate them right now, and you didn't ask for them
anyway.
