Mathematics

Answer:

x = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute</u>

5(3x + 4) = 23

(5 * 3x) + (5 * 4) = 23

(15x) + 20 = 23

<u>Step 2:  Subtract 20 from both sides</u>

(15x) + 20 - 20 = 23 - 20

15x = 3

<u>Step 3:  Divide both sides by 15</u>

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{3}{15}

x = \frac{1}{5}

x = 0.2

Answer:  x = 0.2

Answer:

x = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3x + 4) = 23

Distribute

15x+20 = 23

Subtract 20 from each side

15x+20-20 = 23-20

15x = 3

Divide by 15

15x/15 = 3/15

x = 1/5

Factor completely 9ab + 12ax − 6b − 8x.
Len [333]
Okay so you split 9ab + 12ax - 6b - 8x 
<span>             into two 2-term polynomials </span>
              + 12ax + 9ab   and     - 6b - 8x
             doesn't look that good to me so lest try other one : 
             9ab + 12ax   and     - 6b - 8x
              looks good for now 

<span>      </span>      Pull out from each binomial separately
             9ab + 12ax   =   3a • (3b + 4x)
              - 6b - 8x   =    - 2 • (3b + 4x)

<span>     </span>      Add up to arrive at the desired factorization so now you have
            <span> (3a - 2) • (3b + 4x)

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of y=-3/2x-7 that passes through (3,-2)
ozzi
Graph of y = -3/2x - 7 has a slope of -3/2.
For perpendicular lines the product of the slopes is -1.
m1m2 = -1
-3/2m2 = -1
m2 = -1/(-3/2) = 2/3

The required equation,
y - (-2) = 2/3(x - 3)
y + 2 = 2/3x - 2
y = 2/3x - 4

Eight times a number plus five times another number is -13 the sum of the two numbers is 1 what are these numbers
m_a_m_a [10]

The two numbers are -6 and 7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that eight times a number plus five times another number is -13

The sum of two numbers is 1

To find: the two numbers

Let the two numbers be "a" and "b"

From given information,

Eight times a number plus five times another number = -13

eight times a number "a" + five times another number "b" = -13

8a + 5b = -13 ---- eqn 1

Also given that sum of two numbers is 1

sum of two numbers = 1

a + b = 1 ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "a" and "b"</u></em>

From eqn 2,

a = 1 - b ----- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1

8(1 - b) + 5b = -13

8 - 8b + 5b = -13

8 - 3b = -13

-3b = -13 - 8

-3b = -21

<h3>b = 7</h3>

Substitute b = 7 in eqn 3

a = 1 - 7

<h3>a = -6</h3>

Thus the two numbers are -6 and 7

Move variable to right -

hammer [34]

x = 3,-1, multiplicity of 2.

Therefore, it is 4-degree polynomials. (considering that x = 3,-1,2,2)

We just convert these x-values into x-intercept form and convert again in standard form by multiplying.

(x-3)(x+1)(x-2)²

(x²-2x-3)(x²-4x+4)

(x⁴-4x³+4x²-2x³+8x²-8x-3x²+12x-12)

Thus the answer is x⁴-6x³+9x²+4x-12
