Answer:

x = 3, 5

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right  

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients/Degrees
  • Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
  • Multiple Roots
  • Factoring
  • Completing the Square: -b/(2a)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

x² - 8x + 15 = 0

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 15 on both sides:                     x² - 8x = -15
  2. Complete the Square [Addition Property of Equality]:                                 x² - 8x + 16 = -15 + 16
  3. [Complete the Square] Simplify:                                                                   (x - 4)² = 1
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                  x - 4 = ±1
  5. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 4 on both sides:                                   x = 4 ± 1
  6. Evaluate:                                                                                                          x = 3, 5

Solve for t. (Answer must be completely simplified)<br> 10t=11
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

T can be equal to 1 1/10 or 1.1 or 11/10

Step-by-step explanation:

10t=11

So divide by 10 on both sides.

t=11/10 which can be simplified to t=1 1/10 or t=1.1

Question
Gnoma [55]

Given parameters:

     y varies directly as w;

   This interpreted implies that as y increases, we increases by a certain factor or amount;

    So,  y ∝  w

           y  = kw

   where k is the constant of proportionality

Now, given that y  = 8 and w = 2

Input in the equation to solve for k;

               8 = k x 2

     Solving k gives, k = 4

Now to the second part,

          if v is directly proportional to w;

                v  = k w

        So   v  = 4w

The equation that relates v to w is v = 4w
