Answer:
x = 3 or x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0
Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.
Split into two equations:
x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 3 to both sides:
x = 3 or x + 2 = 0
Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = 3 or x = -2
Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
Answer:
x = 61
Step-by-step explanation:
These 2 angles are supplementary which means they add up to 180:
2x - 6 + x + 3 = 180
3x - 3 = 180
3x = 183
x = 61
