Answer:

Solution of the given equation: x=4 , -7

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is a mathematical statement that states that two things are equal to each other.

A linear equation in one variable is of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 where a,b,c are coefficients and x is variable .

Here. given: (x-2)(x+5)=18

Using rule (Multiplication is distributive over addition) : a(b+c)=ab+ac ,

we can write this equation as,

(x-2)(x+5) =18\\ x(x+5)-2(x+5) =18\\ x^2+5x-2x-10 =18\\ x^2+3x-10-18 =0\\ x^2+3x-28 =0\\

On comparing this equation with x^2 - (sum of roots)x+(product of roots) = 0, we get

sum of roots=3 (7-4)

product of roots = -28 \left ( 7\times -4 \right )

Using this fact , we can write this equation as ,

x^2+7x-4x-28=0\\x\left ( x+7 \right )-4\left ( x+7 \right )=0\\\left ( x-4 \right )\left ( x+7 \right )=0\\\Rightarrow x=4\,,\,x=-7

Hello!

Answer:

\boxed{x=4, x=-7}\checkmark

Step-by-step explanation:

First, expand.

x^2+3x-10=18

Then, subtract by 18 both sides.

x^2+3x-10-18=18-18

Simplify and solve.

x^2+3x-28=0

Therefore, the solution to this equation is x=4, and x=-7.

x=4 and x=-7 is the correct answer.

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Thank you!

A waffle cone has a height of 7 inches and a diameter of 3 inches. What is the volume of ice cream that can be contained within
Nata [24]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the volume of a cone, we multiply the base by the height and then divide by three.

First, we find the area of the base, which is a circle. To find a circle, you square the radius and then multiply by pi (or 3.14 in our case).

Radius is half of the diameter.

3/2=1.5

We square this.

1.5²=2.25

We multiply by 3.14

2.25×3.14=7.065

Now, we multiply this base area by the height.

7.065×7=49.455

We divide by 3.

49.455/3=16.485

Therefore, if we round this, our answer is 16.49 in³.

Now you can find the volume of a cone! Have a wonderful day! :D
