:) Brainliest pls??

Answer:

The positive solution is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 6 = 5x (Subtract 5x from both sides)

x^2 -5x - 6 = 0 (We can factor this, so there is no need to use the quadratic formula)

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

If the product of the two terms is zero then either one being equal to zero will cause the whole expression to be zero.

The solutions are:

x - 6 = 0 (Add 6 to both sides)

x = 6

x + 1 = 0 (Subtract 1 from both sides)

x = -1

The positive solution is 6.

Solve for x: -7x+2=-4x-7
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to start by adding positive 4x to both sides since the 4x is a negative.  4x + (-7x) = -3x.  Then it is just simply -3x+2 = -7.  Since 2 is a positive number subtract both both sides by 2.  Then you should get -3x = -9.  Then divide both sides by -3 and the answer is x = 3.

What is the domain of the function y=sqrt x?
vova2212 [387]
Square root is not defined to for negative values. For negative values, the answer of square root is a complex number which is not in Real Domain.

So any such values, for which the expression is not defined are not in the Domian. So the domian of square root of x will be All real numbers greater than or equal to 0. 

This can be expressed as:

[0 , ∞)
or
x ≥ 0
