Answer:

<u>x= 12</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

work backwards to find x. you start with 40, then subtract 16. now you have 2x= 24. now you have to figure out what multiplied by 2 is 24. 24 divided by 2 is 12, there is the answer. x=12. Always check your work, solve it normally replacing x with 12.

<em>2 x 12 + 16 =40</em>

<em>24 + 16 = 40</em>

<em>40.</em>

Answer:x=12


Step-by-step explanation:subtract 16 from both sides (16-16=0) (40-16=24)

2x=24 divide 2 to both sides (2/2=0) (24/2=12) hope i explained it correctly.

you always need to get x  by itself so whatever is in from of x divide that by what ever is behind the equal(=) sign.

(2x² - 40x² – 28) /(x² – 5x – 2)
erastova [34]

Answer:

x = i sqrt(14/19) or x = -i sqrt(14/19)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(-38 x^2 - 28)/(x^2 - 5 x - 2) = 0

Multiply both sides by x^2 - 5 x - 2:

-38 x^2 - 28 = 0

Add 28 to both sides:

-38 x^2 = 28

Divide both sides by -38:

x^2 = -14/19

Take the square root of both sides:

Answer: x = i sqrt(14/19) or x = -i sqrt(14/19)

F(x)=x^2=10x+35 what is the value of h when the function is converted to vertex form
puteri [66]
I hope this helps you




y=x^2-10x+35



y=x^2-10x+25+10


y-10=(x-5)^2


y=(x-5)^2+10


h= -(-5)=5

why would you want to solve a literal equation for a Veraval when you could simply plug in known values and then solve resulting
Sedbober [7]
Because it would be easier to follow the formula that you were given to solve.
