Both sides would be the same, so set them to equal ans solve for x.
3x+4 = 2x +7
Subtract 4 from each side:
3x = 2x +3
Subtract 2x from each side:
x = 3
The answer is X = 3.
8 x 5 = 40
40 x 18 = 720
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
time taken to reach the max height is expressed according to the projectile equation;
tmax = u/g
Given u = 30m/s
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81
t = 30/9.81
t = 3.0secs
hence it will take the flare 3.06secs to reach its maximum height.
Max height = u²/2g
Max height = 30²/2(9.81)
Max height = 900/19.62
Max height = 45.87m
If the people set off an emergency flare from a height of 2 meters above the water, the total height will be 45.87 + 2 = 47.87m
Short AnswerThere are two numbers
x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682i <<<<
answer 1x2 = - 0.25 - 0.9582i <<<<
answer 2 I take it there are two such numbers.
Let one number = x
Let one number = y
x + y = -0.5
y = - 0.5 - x (1)
xy = 1 (2)
Put equation 1 into equation 2
xy = 1
x(-0.5 - x) = 1
-0.5x - x^2 = 1 Subtract 1 from both sides.
-0.5x - x^2 - 1 = 0 Order these by powers
-x^2 - 0.5x -1 = 0 Multiply though by - 1
x^2 + 0.5x + 1 = 0 Use the quadratic formula to solve this.

a = 1
b = 0.5
c = 1

x = [-0.5 +/- sqrt(0.25 - 4)] / 2
x = [-0.5 +/- sqrt(-3.75)] / 2
x = [-0.25 +/- 0.9682i
x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682 i
x2 = -0.25 - 0.9682 i
These two are conjugates. They will add as x1 + x2 = -0.25 - 0.25 = - 0.50.
The complex parts cancel out. Getting them to multiply to 1 will be a little more difficult. I'll do that under the check.
Check(-0.25 - 0.9682i)(-0.25 + 0.9682i)
Use FOIL
F:-0.25 * -0.25 = 0.0625
O: -0.25*0.9682i
I: +0.25*0.9682i
L: -0.9682i*0.9682i = - 0.9375 i^2 = 0.9375
NoticeThe two middle terms (labled "O" and "I" ) cancel out. They are of opposite signs.
The final result is 0.9375 and 0.0625 add up to 1
