0.4 multiplied by x would give you the percentage and putting x over 2 would give you half of that number
Answer would be 7 since 2 is a negative you would subtract it from 9
Factor out the common term; 3
(3(x + 1))^2 = 36
Use the Multiplication Distributive Property; (xy)^a = x^ay^a
3^2(x + 1)^2 = 36
Simplify 3^2 to 9
9(x + 1)^2 = 36
Divide both sides by 9
(x + 1)^2 = 36/9
Simplify 36/9 to 4
(x + 1)^2 = 4
Take the square root of both sides
x + 1 = √4
Since 2 * 2 = 4, the square root of 2 is 2
x + 1 = 2
Break down the problem into these 2 equations
x + 1 = 2
x + 1 = -2
Solve the first equation; x + 1 = 2
x = 1
Solve the second equation; x + 1 = -2
x = -3
Collect all solutions;
<u>x = 1, -3</u>
Answer:
x < -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
−4x−3> 36/4
Divide 36 by 4 to get 9.
−4x−3>9
Add 3 to both sides.
−4x>9+3
Add 9 and 3 to get 12.
−4x>12
Divide both sides by −4. Since −4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x< 12/-4
Divide 12 by −4 to get −3.
x < -3
