Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3 - 2x = -1.5x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add 2x on both sides: 3 = 0.5x
- Divide 0.5 on both sides: 6 = x
- Rewrite: x = 6
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in<em> x</em>: 3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
- Multiply: 3 - 12 = -9
- Subtract: -9 = -9
Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.
∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.
Answer: 4 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Can salvage 15c+ -15c is 0 + 8 is still 0
X^2 + 2 = x + 8
x^2 - x + 2 - 8 = 0
x^2 - x - 6 = 0
Input 1 => 1^2 - 1 - 6 = 1 - 1 - 6 = -6
Input 3 => 3^2 - 3 - 6 = 9 - 3 - 6 = 0
Input 4 => 4^2 - 4 - 6 = 16 - 4 - 6 = 6
Input 5 => 5^2 - 5 - 6 = 25 - 5 - 6 = 14
Solution set { -6, 0, 6, 14}
