Answer:
x = -1 and x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + 2x - 14x - 14
2x^2 - 12x -14
Divide through by 2 to simplify the expression
x^2 - 6x - 7
x^2 - 6x -7
Now, let's think of two numbers that when added up gives -6 and when multiplied gives -7
Yes! It's -7 and +1
-7 + 1 = -6 , and -7* 1 = -7
Now, lets substitute these numbers in the expression
x^2 -7x + x - 7
factorize
x(x - 7) + 1(x - 7)
(x + 1) (x - 7)
Now equate to zero
(x + 1) (x - 7) = 0
x + 1 = 0
subtract 1 from both sides
x +1 - 1 = 0 -1
x = -1
Also,
x - 7 = 0
Add 7 to both sides
x -7 + 7 = 0 + 7
x = 7
Hence, x = -1 and x =7
Answer:
p = 1.5 and q = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the right side then compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides, that is
4(x + p)² - q ← expand (x + p)² using FOIL
= 4(x² + 2px + p²) - q ← distribute parenthesis
= 4x² + 8px + 4p² - q
Comparing coefficients of like terms on both sides
8p = 12 ( coefficients of x- terms ) ← divide both sides by 8
p = 1.5
4p² - q = 0 ( constant terms ), that is
4(1.5)² - q = 0
9 - q = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
- q = - 9 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
q = 9
The value of the variable would be 82, as the inside angles of a triangle add up to 180
It would be 2/5 but the numbers between is 2/10 and 3/10
