Answer:

<h3>Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

- 2 (x + 3) = - 10

The first step in solving the expression is to multiply both sides by -1/2 as shown;

-1/2(-2)(x+3) = -1/2(-10)

(x +3) = 1/2(10)

x + 3 = 5

x = 5-3

x = 2

Hence the correct option is Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)

Hello : 
<span>a point on the y-axis is : P( 0, y)
</span>PA = PB  or  PA² = PB².... A(7, -7)    B(1,1)
(7-0)²+(-7-y)² = (1-0)² + (1-y)²
49+49+14y+y² = 1+1-2y+y²

Solve the following quadratic equation 6x2 – 7x = 20
siniylev [52]

Answer:

<h2>x = 5/2 , x = - 4/3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

6x² - 7x - 20 = 0

Using method of factorization

Rewrite - 7x as a difference

That's

6x² + 8x - 15x - 20 = 0

Factor the expression

That's

2x( 3x + 4) - 5( 3x + 4) = 0

Which is

(2x - 5) (3x + 4) = 0

2x - 5 = 0

2x = 5

Divide both sides by 2

x = 5/2

3x + 4 = 0

3x = - 4

Divide both sides by 3

x = -4/3

Hope this helps you
