2x(3+4a)=-16x+6x Solve please

Mathematics
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x(3 + 4a) = -16x + 6x

(3 * 2x + 4a * 2x) = -16x + 6x

Reorder the terms:

(8ax + 6x) = -16x + 6x

(8ax + 6x) = -16x + 6x

Combine like terms: -16x + 6x = -10x

8ax + 6x = -10x

Solving

8ax + 6x = -10x

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

8ax + 6x + -6x = -10x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

8ax + 0 = -10x + -6x

8ax = -10x + -6x

Combine like terms: -10x + -6x = -16x

8ax = -16x

Divide each side by '8x'.

a = -2

Simplifying

a = -2 <— answer

Geometric mean between 9 and 36
nlexa [21]
I've actually just learned this. We would set up the proportion as X/9=36/X so after we cross multiply we get x^2=324. Then we find the square root of both sides to simplify. And using my calculator the square root of x^2 is just x. And the square root of 324 is 18. So the final answer is x=18 or the geometric mean is 18.
