Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 8 = 3x - 4
In order to solve for x, we must isolate x. We can do this by moving all of the numbers with "x" in it to the left side of the equal side, and move everything else to the right of it!
Let's start off by subtracting 8 from both sides. Remember : what you do to one side, you must do it to the other.
2x + 8 - 8 = 3x - 4 - 8
Simplify!
2x = 3x - 12
Now, let's subtract 3x from both sides.
2x - 3x = 3x - 12 - 3x
Simplify!
-x = -12
Divide both sides by -1.
-x ÷ -1 = -12 ÷ -1
Simplify.
x = 12
Answer: Carlos is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^5-250x^2
The first step is to factorize out 2x^2
2x^2(x^3-125)
This can be rewritten as
2x^2(x^3-5^3),
Recall, difference if cube (a^3-b^3)
= (a-b)(a^2 +ab + b^2)
from our equation,
a= x
b = 5.
So the difference of cubes will be
2x^2[(x-5) (x^2 + 5x + 5^2)]
=2x^2[(x-5) (x^2 + 5x + 25)]
Carlos followed these steps. So he is correct. Carlos is correct because he correctly factored the GCF, identified a and b, and applied the difference of cubes method.
Amber is incorrect because 125 is equal to b3, not b.
Bernie is incorrect because x2 is not the GCF of the polynomial. The GCF is 2x^2.
The quotient to this problem is 401.45
Just divide 8,029 by 20 to find the quotient.
