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!

Answer:

<h2>        y = x² - 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1 for x = 0 {point(0, -1)} means -1 at the end of formula

If we add 1 to y-coordinate of  every given point we get the squares of x-coordinate:

(1, 0):   1² - 1 = 0

(2, 3):   2² - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

(3, 8):   3² - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

(4, 15):   4² - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

So for any x:

(x, y)   y = x² - 1
