What are the solutions of -x^2+4x=x-4
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

x = -1 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Get everything to one side of the equation so it's set equal to zero..

-x² + 4x = x - 4  becomes...

  -x² + 3x + 4 = 0        (subtract x and add 4 to both sides)

    x² - 3x - 4 = 0  (divide both sides by -1, we want the x² term to be positive)

   (x - 4)(x + 1) = 0          (factor)

      so

x - 4 = 0,    then x = 4

and

x + 1 = 0,   then x = -1

Can someone please help with this maths !!!!!
ioda

Answer:

C)  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange your equation so that it is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).  The m in the equation is the gradient.

y = 7 - 3x

y = -3x + 7

The m-value is -3.  This means that the gradient is -3.
