2n(n + 3) - 5(n + 3) = (2n-5)(n+3)
A. (n + 3) (2n - 5)
a
7
because 4a + 7 - 7
35 - 7
equals 4a
28
and 4a/4
28/4
equals a
7
Answer:
3 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
{-14, 4}
Step-by-step explanation:
the absolute value function only makes sure that the result always has a positive sign.
so, (x + 5) must be either +9 or -9 to make the original equation true. the absolute value would turn both into +9.
so,
x + 5 = 9
x = 4
and
x + 5 = -9
x = -14
that gives us the correct set of solutions as indicated above.
