I got ten. Here's the equation.
x = 1/2x + 5
<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>
<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>
<span>1/2x = 5 </span>
<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>
<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>
<span>x = 10 cats</span>
Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
(2.5 x 2)+(1.5 x 2) =8 (perimeter of scale)
8x20 = 160

Given :-
- a² - 2a - b² = 0
- 2b + 2ab = 0
To find :-
Solution :-
<u>Taking</u><u> </u><u>second</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
- 2b + 2ab = 0
- 2b ( 1 + a ) = 0
- 2b = 0 or (1+a) = 0
- b = 0 , a = -1
<u>Substitute</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>first </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
<u>When </u><u>b </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>,</u>
- a² - 2a - 0² = 0
- a² - a = 0
- a( a -1) =0
- a = 0 , 1
<u>When </u><u>a </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>,</u>
- (-1)² - 2*(-1) - b² = 0
- 1 + 2 - b² = 0
- b² = 3
- b = ±√3
<u>Answer </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
- a = 0,1 ; b = 0
- a = -1 , b = ±√3
Step 1: Factor
1. <span> Multiply 2 by -2, which is -4.</span>
2. <span>Ask: Which two numbers add up to -3 and multiply to -4?
</span>3. <span>Answer: 1 and -4
</span>4. Rewrite
as the sum of
and
Step 2: <span>Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
</span>
<span>
Step 3: </span>Factor out the common term
Step 4: Solve for
1. Ask: When will
equal zero?
2. Answer: When
or
3. <span>Solve each of the 2 equations above:
</span>
<span>
Step 5: </span>From the values of
<span>above, we have these 3 intervals to test.
x = < -1/2
-1/2 < x < 2
x > 2
Step 6: P</span><span>ick a test point for each interval
</span>For the interval
Lets pick
Then,
After simplifying, we get
, Which is false.
Drop this interval.
<span>
For this interval
Lets pick
. Then,
. After simplifying, we get
which is true. Keep this <span>interval.
For the interval </span>
Lets pick
Then,
After simplifying, we get
, Which is false. Drop this interval.
.Step 7: Therefore,
Done! :)</span>
