3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3 {x}^{2}  + 12x = 15 \\ 3 ({x}^{2}  + 4x) = 15 \\  {x}^{2}  + 4x = 5 \\  {x}^{2}  + 4x  = 5 \\  {x}^{2}  + 4x + 4 = 5 + 4 \\ {x}^{2}  + 4x + 4 = 9 \\ {x}^{2}  + 4x +  {2}^{2}  =  {3}^{2}  \\ \red{ \bold{ (x + 2)^{2}   =  {3}^{2}}}  \\

Lin multiplies 7/8 times a number.the product is less than 7/8 . Which could be Lin’s number ?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Any number less than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number Lin multiplies by 7/8. So, we have:

(7/8)*x < 7/8

We need to find the possible values for x. Lets start by dividing both sides of our inequality by (7/8) in order to get x alone on the left side.

(7/8)*x / (7/8) < (7/8)/(7/8)

Reordering:

(7/8) / (7/8) * x < (7/8)/(7/8)

As any number divided by itself (except from 0) is equal to 1:

x < 1

So, the number that Lin multiplied by 7/8 MUST be less than 1. This is evident, as any positive number multiplied by a number less than 1 will decrease, doesn't matter if its a negative or positive number.

So, such number is less than 1. Any number less than 1 could be Lin's number.

5[2p-4(p+5)]=25<br><br><br> Please solve for p and show steps<br><br> Thanks!
larisa [96]

We are given that:

5[2p-4(p+5)]=25

<span>
First thing to do is to divide everything by 5 so that:</span>

2p-4(p+5)=5

 

Then distribute -4:

2p – 4p – 20 = 5

 

Combine like terms:

-2p = 5 + 20

-2p = 25

<span>p = -12.5</span>
