Answer is -5

Simplifying
25 + x2 + 10x = 0

Reorder the terms:
25 + 10x + x2 = 0

Solving
25 + 10x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.
(5 + x)(5 + x) = 0

Set the factor '(5 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
5 + x = 0

Solving
5 + x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + x = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + x = 0 + -5
x = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
x = -5

Dvide if the polynomial does not divide evenly. Include the remainder as a fraction (18u^2 - 142u - 11) ÷ (u - 8)

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

18u + 2 + 5/(u - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

(18u^2 - 142u - 11) ÷ (u - 8)

18u^2 - 142u - 11 =
18u^2 - 8*18u + 2u - 11 =
18u(u - 8) + 2u - 16 + 5 =
18u(u - 8) + 2(u - 8) + 5 =
(18u + 2)(u - 8) + 5

(18u^2 - 142u - 11) ÷ (u - 8) = 18u + 2 + 5/(u - 8)

The length of a rectangle is three times its breadth if the breadth is decreased by 2 m and breadth increased by 4 m the area of

White raven [17]

Answer:

Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.

The area is:

A = lw = 3x*x = 3x²

The breadth is decreased by 2 m:

w = x - 2

The length is increased by 4m:

l = 3x + 4

The area is now:

(x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
3x² + 4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
x² - 2x - 8 = 0
x² - 2x + 1 = 9
(x - 1)² = 3²
x - 1 = 3
x = 4

The breadth was 4 m and the length 12 m

The measures of the angles of a convex polygon form an arithmetic sequence. The least measurement in the sequence is 128º. The g

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite arithmetic sequence}\\\\

How does the precise nature of mathematics OR the imprecise nature of language sometimes get in the way of understanding problem

Degger [83]

Answer:

This is because mathematics uses some theories that helps to change words to equations. for example, a tree of height 50m makes a shadow on the ground. an observer standing at angle of 30 degrees, calculate the distance of the man to the tree. we use the the formula, tan (30)=opp/adj

$1 \div \sqrt{3 } = 50 \div x$

$x = 50 \sqrt{3} m$
