Answer:

maybe x=3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6x= 1/2 (2x+5)

we take the 1/2 and distribute it into (2x+5) so we end up with

6x= 1x (or just x) + 2.5

We subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation and we end up with

3.5x= 1x

we then need to isolate the x, so we divide both sides of the equation by x

and then we end up with

3.5= x/x, which ends up just being

3.5=x

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero at the end of the number is not important, so you are left with 0.75

Basically, you can think of it as 75 is three-fourths of 100, so the fraction would be 3/4. (and 3/4 is completely simplified)

The sum of squares of two consecutive odd numbers is 514 find the numbers

amid [387]

Correct Question : The sum of squares of two consecutive positive odd numbers is 514. Find the numbers.

$\rule{130}1$

Solution :

Let the two consecutive positive odd numbers be x and (x + 2)

$\rule{130}1$

☯ $\underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}$

$:\implies\sf x^2 + (x + 2)^{2} = 514 \\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 514\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 514 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x = 514 - 4\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x = 510 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x - 510 = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + 2x - 255 = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Dividing\:by\:2}\Bigg\rgroup\\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + 17x - 15x - 255 = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf x(x + 17) - 15(x + 17) = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf (x + 17) (x - 15)\\\\\\:\implies\sf x = - 17\:or\:x = 15\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed {\sf x = 15}}\:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Positive\:odd\: number}\Bigg\rgroup$
