Answer:
x²=5-x
x²+x-5=0
1x²+1x²-5=0
[ax²+bx²+c=0]
∆=b²-4ac
∆=1²-4(-5)(1)=1+20=21
x=(-b±√∆)/2a
x=(-1±√21)/2
meaning:
x=(-1+√21)/2 or x=(-1-√21)/2
Answer:
2x-2<1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
when the problem says "two less than" it means we are subtracting 2 from something, in this case, that something is "twice a number" as the problem states. So we would write 2x where x is a variable that represents any number so we have 2x-2<1/2.
Between 10 and 11, all the others would be to much or to little
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
9x - 8(x - 6) = 52
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute -8: 9x - 8x + 48 = 52
- Combine like terms: x + 48 = 52
- Subtract 48 on both sides: x = 4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
9(4) - 8(4 - 6) = 52
36 - 8(-2) = 52
36 + 16 = 52
52 = 52
