Step-by-step explanation:

3x + (2x + 4) is equivalent to (3x + 2x) + 4

because there is no change of signs taking place as there is no (-) sign in front of the brackets

3x + (2x + 4) | (3x + 2x) + 4

3x + 2x + 4 | 3x + 2x +4

5x + 4 | 5x + 4

Any one know how to find the roots of an equation?

So what you do is
make into ax^2+bx+c=0 form

add-9/2 to both sides
y^2-2y+9/2=0
now we use the quadratice formula which is
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

ax^2+bx+c=0
1y^2-2y+9/2
a=1
b=-2
c=9/2
subsitute
x= $\frac{-(-2)+/- \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(1)(9/2)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{2+/- \sqrt{4-(36/2)} }{2}$
x= $\frac{2+/- \sqrt{4-(18)} }{2}$
x= $\frac{2+/- \sqrt{-14} }{2}$
x= $\frac{2+/- \sqrt{-14} }{2}$
x= $1+/- \frac{\sqrt{-14} }{2}$
x= $1+/- \frac{\sqrt{14} \sqrt{-1}}{2}$
x= $1+/- \frac{\sqrt{14} i }{2}$
x= $1+/- \frac{ i \sqrt{14} }{2}$

Answer:

a=5

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c^2-b^2=a^2

13^2-12^2=a^2

169-144=a^2

25=a^2

Michelle has fifteen more than two times as many pieces of candy as her sister. Which expression represents the number of pieces

kondaur [170]

Fifteen more means somewhere we’ll add 15. Two times as many as c = 2c. So,

2c + 15 = how much candy Michelle has
2c + 15 is the answer
