<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

The product of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

x(6 + 8x²) or 6x + 8x³.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The square of x" can be represented by x² and 8 times that would be 8 * x² or 8x². The sum of 6 and 8x² can be represented by 6 + x² and the product of x and 6 + x² can be represented by x * (6 + 8x²) or x(6 + 8x²) which simplifies to 6x + 8x³.

Can someone help me learn to solve this?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

x = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AB = AD then Δ ABD is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is

∠ ABD = ∠ ADB = 35°

The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°, that is

x + 35° + 35° = 180°

x + 70° = 180° ( subtract 70° from both sides )

x = 110°
