You flip the sign from > to < only when you are dividing by a negative number and in this case it would be negative 9.
2x2-3x-20=0
4-3x-20=0
2-20=-16
-3x-16=0
-3x=16
x= -5.33333
I think i did it right. i hope this helps.
Answer:
- 819
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of a geometric series is
= 
where a is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a = 1 and r = - 4 ÷ 1 = - 4, thus
=
=
=
= - 819
True: adding two polynomials will always result in another polynomial
Isolate the z. Note the equal sign. Subtract 1/7z to both sides
1/7z (-1/7z) + 2 = -6/7z (-1/7z)
2 = -6/7z - 1/7z
Simplify. Combine like terms
2 = -7/7z
2 = -1z
Isolate the z. Divide -1 from both sides
(2)/-1 = (-1z)/-1
z = 2/-1
z = -2
-2 is your answer
hope this helps
