Are u solving for x? And is the “x2” x to the power of 2 or is it 2x

X = 3 or x = 4

Given
x² + 12 = 7x ( subtract 7x from both sides )
x² - 7x + 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero ( zero product property ) and solve for x
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

5 x 10^5 is how many times as large as 1 x 10^5?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

5 times as large

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of "10^5" as "green marbles" if you like. Then your question is ...

5 green marbles is how many times as large as 1 green marble.

Hopefully, the answer is all too clear: it is 5 times as large.

_____

In math terms, when you want to know how many times as large y is as x, the answer is found by dividing y by x:

y/x . . . . . tells you how many times as large as x is y.

Here, that looks like ...

$\dfrac{5\times 10^5}{1\times 10^5}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{1} \qquad\text{the factors of $10^5$ cancel}\\\\=5$

A candy box measures 8.2 cm in diameter and 15 cm in height. How many 2 cm cubed pieces of candy can fit into the box?

Katarina [22]

60 2cm candy prices can fit because if you multiply 8.2 by 15 it equals a decimal and if you divide it by 2 that the nearest whole number you’ll get is 60, so the answer has to be 60.

Solve the system of equations below algebraically <br> 2x+3y=6 and -5x+2y=4

Charra [1.4K]

Steps
I’m using elimination so I’m trying to get rid of y
To do that I multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by -3. Then solve
4x + 6x = 12
15x + -6x = -12
—————————
19x + 0 = 0
Divid by 19 to get x to one side. 0/19 is 0 so
X= 0
Plug that into an equation so 0 + 3y = 6
Divid by 3 and y = 2
Answer x = 0 y = 2

write the slope-intercept form of the line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -4. include your work in your final answer.

IgorLugansk [536]

I cant really show you how to graph this but i can try to explain it. you would make a 4 quadrant graph and do rise over run.
1)start by making the graph
2) on the line of the graph marked Y is where you would put -4
3) From -4, you would go up (rise) by 2 and go over to the right 1 where you end is the slop
