Answer:

x = - 4 , x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

- 7x = x^2 + 12

Take all terms to one side of equation.

x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0

Find which 2 numbers multiply to give 12 and add to give 7.

a × b = 12

a + b = 7

a = 4

b = 3

Split the middle term using these 2 numbers.

x^2 + 4x + 3x + 12 = 0

Factorise each pair of terms separately.

x ( x + 4 ) + 3 ( x + 4 ) = 0

Bring out common factor of ( x + 4 ) and factorise.

( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 0

Using the Null factor law, make the expressions in each pair of parentheses equal 0.

x + 4 = 0

x = - 4

AND

x + 3 = 0

x = - 3

THEREFORE:

x = - 4 , x = - 3

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the laws of logarithms

• log x - log y = log( $\frac{x}{y}$ )

• $log_{b}$ x = n ⇔ x = $b^{n}$

Hence

$log_{x}$ ( $\frac{8x-3}{4}$ ) = 2, hence

$\frac{8x-3}{4}$ = x² ( multiply both sides by 4 )

8x - 3 = 4x² ← rearrange into standard form

Subtract 8x - 3 from both sides

4x² - 8x + 3 = 0 ← in standard form

(2x - 1)(2x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = $\frac{1}{2}$

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = $\frac{3}{2}$

Answer:

the answer is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

you take the points (0,6) and (4,-10), then you subtract -10 by 6 and you get -16. then you take 4 subtracted by 0 and you get 4. -16 divided by 4 is -4.

Answer:

x = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

First find <E by applying the angles of intersecting chords theorem.

Based on the theorem, we would have the following equation:

m<E = ½(arc CA + arc BD)

Substitute

m<E = ½(170° + 70°)

m<E = ½(240)

m<E = 120°

Let's find x:

x = 180° - m<E (supplementary angles)

x = 180° - 120° (substitution)

x = 60°
