Y = x² + 7x - 4
y = -x - 4
x² + 7x - 4 = -x - 4
+ x + x
x² + 8x - 4 = -4
+ 4 + 4
x² + 8x = 0
x(x) + x(8) = 0
x(x + 8) = 0
x = 0 or x + 8 = 0
- 8 - 8
x = -8
y = -x - 4
y = -0 - 4
y = 0 - 4
y = -4
(x, y) = (0, -4)
or
y = -x - 4
y = -(-8) - 4
y = 8 - 4
y = 4
(x, y) = (-8, 4)
The solutions are (0, -4) and (8, -4).
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
6 inches 1 inch
-------------- = ------------
60 inches x
Cross-multiplying, 6x = 60, so x = 10 inches (answer)
1. Solve for x in 2x + 5 = 12
2x + 5 = 12 Subtract 5 from both sides.
2x = 7 Divide 2 from both sides.
x = 3.5
2. Substitute 3.5 in for x in 6x + 20
6(3.5) + 20
21 + 20
41
Your answer is 41.
Answer: y = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
- Combine the like terms. -23y - 5 = 18
- Add 5 on both sides. -23y = 23
- Divide -23 on both sides. y = - 1
0.326= 326/1000
0.326= 163/500
0.326= 32.6%
