3x² - 21
Factor 3 from both terms:
3 (x² - 7)
To me, that's as far as you should need to go. But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:
3 (x + √7) (x - √7)
Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:
3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)
but to me, this would be nonsense.
Answer:
5/4 or 1 . 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 + 1/2 = 5/4 or 1 . 1/4
Answer:
x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to get rid of the fraction, so you can multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
9 = 2x + 8
Then, subtract 8 from both sides to get x by itself.
1 = 2x
Finally, divide both sides by 2 so you only have one x
1/2 = x
This means that the answer is x = 1/2.
