Will mark brainliest!! solve & simplify the following equation: 2x²-7x=4

Mathematics

1 answer:

Goryan [66]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

x= −1 /2 or x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is ALGEBRA, equations, factoring and zero property. ok.. let's solve this step-by-step

2x^2−7x=4

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x^2−7x−4 =4 −4

2x^2−7x−4=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(2x+1)(x−4)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

2x+1=0 or x−4=0

x= −1 /2 or x=4

(BTW, there are supposed to be two answers, it's factoring)

Sorry if the format is not clear, but I hope this helped (really feel you, algebra can be brain-striking)!! Please leave a comment, rating and/or mark as the brainliest-whichever you think I deserve! Thank You :)

Solve this question 2(x+3)=x-4

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+3)=x-4 (Multiply the 2 by the x and the 3);

2x+6=x-4 (Now you group like terms)

2x-x=-4-6

x=-10

What is the equation of a line that passes through points (2,0) and (6,-4)

romanna [79]

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line

Step 1: find the slope

We are given two points

( 2 , 0) ( 6 , -4)

m = (y_2 - y_1 )/ (x_2 - x_1)

x_1 = 2

y_1 = 0

x_2 = 6

y_2 = -4

Insert the values

m = ( -4 - 0) / ( 6 - 2)

m = -4 / 4

m = -1

Step 2 : substitute m into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -1x + c

Step 3: substitute any of the two points into the equation

Let's pick ( 6 , -4)

x = 6

y = -4

y = mx + c

y = -1x + c

-4 = -1(6) + c

-4 = -6 + c

c = -4 + 6

c = 2

Step 4: substitute c = 2 into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -x + c

y = -x + 2

Colin gets pic 'n mix when at the cinema and makes his bag up with 3 types of sweet. He pick:

Kisachek [45]

Answer: 2/3

Explanation: Assume that the number of smarties he picked is c.

Now, we are given that:

1- He picked 3 times as many cola bottles as smarties. This means that:

Number of cola bottles he picked = 3s

2- He picked twice as many smarties as marshmallows. This means that:

number of marshmallows he picked = 0.5s

Now to get the proportion o f cola bottles, we will divide the number of cola bottles by the total number of sweets as follows:

proportion of cola bottles =

Hope this helps :)
