Answer:

-2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

-10x + 1 + 7 = 37

Combine like factors.

-10x + 8 = 37

Subtract 8 from both sides.

-10x = 29

Divide both sides by -10.

x = -2.9

Answer:

x = -29/10 = -2 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

-10x + 1 + 7 = 37

Combine like terms

-10x +8 = 37

Subtract 8 from each side

-10x + 8-8 = 37-8

-10x = 29

Divide each side by -10

-10x/-10 = 29/-10

x = -29/10

x = -2 9/10

Detmermine the best method to solve the following equation, then solve the equation. (3x-5)^2=-125

liq [111]

For the given equation;

$(3x-5)^2=-125$

We shall begin by expanding the parenthesis on the left side, after which we would combine all terms on and move all of them to the left side, which shall yield a quadratic equation. Then we shall solve.

Let us begin by expanding the parenthesis;

$\begin{gathered} (3x-5)^2\Rightarrow(3x-5)(3x-5) \\ (3x-5)(3x-5)=9x^2-15x-15x+25 \\ (3x-5)^2=9x^2-30x+25 \end{gathered}$

Now that we have expanded the left side of the equation, we would have;

$\begin{gathered} 9x^2-30x+25=-125 \\ \text{Add 125 to both sides and we'll have;} \\ 9x^2-30x+25+125=-125+125 \\ 9x^2-30x+150=0 \end{gathered}$

We shall now solve the resulting quadratic equation using the quadratic formula as follows;

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \text{Where;} \\ a=9,b=-30,c=150 \\ x=\frac{-(-30)\pm\sqrt[]{(-30)^2-4(9)(150)}}{2(9)} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{900-5400}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-4500}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900\times5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900}\times\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Therefore;} \\ x=\frac{30+30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18},x=\frac{30-30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Divide all through by 6, and we'll have;} \\ x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3} \end{gathered}$

ANSWER:

$x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3}$

write an expression that describes the number of points scored on touchdowns t and points after touchdowns p by one team in a ga

Len [333]

A touchdown is scored 6 points for each touchdown and the points made after a touchdown is scored 2 points each. We are given the following variables:

t = number of touchdowns
p = number of points after a touchdown

Total score = 6t + 2p

Where 6 times t is the total score given by the number of touchdowns multiplied by 6 points, the same goes for the expression 2p.
