Solve algebraically for x: 2(x – 4) 2 + 10 = 30

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

x=4 or x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

When given the following equation,

2(x-4)^2+10=30

One must follow the order of operations to solve the equation and get a valid result. The order of operations states the following,

1. Parenthesis

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication/ Division

4. Addition/ Subtraction.

Normally, one would combine the terms in the parenthesis, but since they are unlike terms, one will have to undo the exponents first. Expand the binomial.

2(x-4)^2 + 10 = 30\\\\2(x^2-8x+16)+10=30

Now distribute, multiply every term inside the parenthesis by the term outside,

2(x^2-8x+16)+10=30\\\\2(x^2)+2(-8)x+2(16) + 10 = 30

Simplify,

2(x^2)+2(-8x)+2(16)+10=30

2x^2 -16x +32 +10 = 30

2x^2 -16x +42=30

Inverse operations,

2x^2 -16x + 42 = 30\\-30\\\\2x^2 - 16x + 12= 0

To simplify the equation, divide all terms by (2).

x^2 - 8x +6=0

Factor, rewrite the quadratic equation as a product of linear equations,

(x-4)(x-2)=0

Solve using the zero product property. The zero product property states that any number times zero equals zero,

(x-4)(x-2)=0\\\\x=4,x=2

Answer:

a = 6, b = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare the coefficients of like terms to those on the right side.

a(4x - 10) ← distribute parenthesis

= 4ax - 10a

Compare to 24x + 5b , then

4a = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 6

Then

5b = - 10a = - 10(6) = - 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

b = - 12

The set of whole numbers includes zero, but the natural numbers do not.
ikadub [295]

Answer: True

The set of whole numbers is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...}

The set of natural numbers is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...}

Both sets describe numbers that are positive and without any fractional or decimal component. The only difference is that 0 is included in the first set, but exclude from the second. If you want to include negative whole numbers as well, then you'd use the set of integers.
