X-number
8x-20=15+x (subtract x)
7x-20=15 (then add 20)
7x=35 (then divide by 7)
I think you've got it from now, if not, just do 35 divided by 7. But go over the steps, so that you know how to do these types of questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer is in the picture.
The answer to your question is:
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..
Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:
<span><u>3x² - 2x - 5 = 0</u></span>
In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5
Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that
<u>x = -1</u>
and
<u>x = ⁵/₃</u>
