Solve the quadratic equation.
2x2 + 35 = 17x
1 answer:
Get it to equal 0
minus 17x from both sides
2x²-17x+35=0
tricky part
get something like
(2x-a)(x-b)
we know the signs are negative since the middle term is negative and last term is positive
so a and b are either 1 and 35 or 5 and 7
(2x-1)(x-35), nope
(2x-35)(x-1) nope
(2x-5)(x-7), nope
(2x-7)(x-5), yep
(2x-7)(x-5)=0
set to zero
2x-7=0
2x=7
x=7/2
x-5=0
x=5
x=7/2 and 5

Answer:
x = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(x+6) = 18
Distribute
1/2 x + 3 = 18
Subtract 3 from each side
1/2x +3-3 = 18-3
1/2x = 15
Multiply each side by 2
1/2x*2 = 15*2
x = 30
