Copy it just like this I'm in geometry. Glad to help
let x be the number
2(x+5)= ±3(x-3)
2x+10= 3x-9 or 2x+10= -3x+9
x=19 or x=0.2
River C : 200 + x
River D: x
200 + x + x = 5,540
combine like terms
200 + 2x = 5,540
subtract 200 from both sides
2x = 5,340
divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable
x = 2, 670
River C: 200 + x = 200 + 2,670 = 2,870
River D: x = 2,670
2,870 + 2,670 = 5,540
Answer:
x = ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x ^2 -4 = 8
Add 4 to each side
3x ^2 -4+4 = 8+4
3x^2 =12
Divide each side by 3
3x^2 =12
3x^2/3 = 12/3
x^2 = 4
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(4)
x = ±2
