x^2-4x=12\\\\x^2-2x\cdot2=12\ \ \ |add\ 2^2\ to\ both\ sides\\\\x^2-2x\cdot2+2^2=12+2^2\ \ \ \ \ |use\ a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2\\\\(x-2)^2=12+4\\\\(x-2)^2=16\iff x-2=\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\x-2=-4\ or\ x-2=4\ \ \ |add\ 2\ to\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{x=-2\ or\ x=6}

Solve <br><br> 0.6(10n + 25) = 10 + 5n ?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: x=-5

<u>Simplify both sides of the equation</u>

(0.6)(10n)+(0.6)(25)=10+5n(Distribute)\\6n+15=10+5n\\6n+15=5n+10

<u>Subtract 5n from both sides</u>

6n+15-5n=5n+10-5n\\n+15=10

<u>Subtract 15 from both sides</u>

n+15-15=10-15\\n=-5

Prove that if a is a natural number, then there exist two unequal natural numbers k and l for which ak−al is divisible by 10.
EastWind [94]
Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial). 
<span>Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. </span>
<span>R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. </span>
<span>Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) </span>
<span>Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.</span>

Greeley [361]

Answer:

1)-

How to solve your question

Your question is

4(4−72)−9(5+2)

4(4y-7y^{2})-9(5y+2)4(4y−7y2)−9(5y+2)

Simplify

1

Rearrange terms

4(4−72)−9(5+2)

4({\color{#c92786}{4y-7y^{2}}})-9(5y+2)4(4y−7y2)−9(5y+2)

4(−72+4)−9(5+2)

4({\color{#c92786}{-7y^{2}+4y}})-9(5y+2)4(−7y2+4y)−9(5y+2)

2

Distribute

4(−72+4)−9(5+2)

{\color{#c92786}{4(-7y^{2}+4y)}}-9(5y+2)4(−7y2+4y)−9(5y+2)

−282+16−9(5+2)

{\color{#c92786}{-28y^{2}+16y}}-9(5y+2)−28y2+16y−9(5y+2)

3

Distribute

−282+16−9(5+2)

-28y^{2}+16y{\color{#c92786}{-9(5y+2)}}−28y2+16y−9(5y+2)

−282+16−45−18

-28y^{2}+16y{\color{#c92786}{-45y-18}}−28y2+16y−45y−18

4

Combine like terms

2)

−17y+17z+24

See steps

Step by Step Solution:



STEP1:Equation at the end of step 1

((24 - 4 • (5y - 6z)) + 3y) - 7z

STEP2:

Final result :

-17y + 17z + 24

−282+16−45−18

-28y^{2}+{\color{#c92786}{16y}}{\color{#c92786}{-45y}}-18−28y2+16y−45y−18

−282−29−18

-28y^{2}{\color{#c92786}{-29y}}-18−28y2−29y−18

Solution

−282−29−18
