Answer:
x=−2 or x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x2−2x−3=5
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.
x2−2x−3−5=5−5
x2−2x−8=0
Step 3: Factor left side of equation.
(x+2)(x−4)=0
Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.
x+2=0 or x−4=0
x=−2 or x=4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2q + 2p = 1 + 5q
-3q + 2p = 1
-3q = 1 - 2p
3q = 2p - 1
q = (2p -1)/3
450*(1+0.18)=531 hence 450 increased by 18% is 531
