Answer: x= -8 or x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + 15x = 8 Subtract 8 from both sides to let the whole equation equal 0
- 8 -8
2x^2 + 15x - 8 = 0 Now find two numbers that if you multiply them, their product will be -16 and their sum will be 15. An example is the numbers 16 and -1. 16 times -1 is -16 and 16 plus -1 is 15.
Rewrite the whole equation in this form,
2x^2 +16x - 1x - 8 = 0 Factor on the left side
2x ( x + 8) -1 (x + 8) = 0 Now factor out x + 8
(x + 8) (2x -1) = 0 Set each expression equal zero, because for the whole expression to equation to 0, either one of them or all of them have to equation zero.
x + 8 = 0 or 2x - 1 = 0
-8 -8 +1 +1
x = - 8 2x = 1
x = 1/2
Answer:
27-g
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of gumballs Jared has = 27 - g
Jared has few gumballs therefore the variable comes after 27 and not before it.
Answer:
12.5r + 200 = 12.5*2r
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given</h3>
Rate of Hoppertunity = r
Rate of Dortmund = 2r as it is twice as fast
<h3>Solution</h3>
Let the distance Hoppertunity runs be d, then the distance Dortmund runs is d + 200 m
Since it took 12.5 seconds Dortmund to catch Hoppertunity, it can be expressed as:
- d = 12.5r for Hoppertunity
- d + 200 =12.5*2r for Dortmund
<u>By replacing d in the second equation, we get:</u>
<u>Soving</u>:
- 12.5r = 200
- r = 200/12.5
- r = 16 m/sec
Hoppertunity's rate is 16 m/sec
Dortmund's rate is 32 m/sec
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 52° and y = 137°
Step-by-step explanation:
Process
1.- Find the value of x using the large right triangle, remember that the sum of the internal angles in a triangle equals 180°.
x + 38 + 90 = 180
x = 180 - 90 - 38
x = 52°
2.- To find y, we notice that x and y -9 are supplementary angles so their sum gives 180°.
x + y - 9 = 180
Substitution
52 + y - 9 = 180
y = 180 + 9 - 52
y = 137°
9=5 -y/3
-5
3=-y/3
cross multiply
1=-y
y=-1
