Divide by 5 each side
X+2=4
Subtract 2 from each side
X=2
5(2+2)=20
Does work
In algebra when isolating (leaving alone on one side) x, you do the opposite operation, thus multiplying when you are trying to get rid of a division and vice versa
Addd 4 to both sides

sqare both sides
x+9=25
minus 9 both sides
x=16
plug it in for x and see



1=1
true
not extraneous
an extraneous root would be x=-34
Answer:

Explanation:
We have been given with the quadratic equation 
We have general formula to find the roots of a quadratic equation first we find the discriminant with formula

and after that to find the variable suppose x we have the formula

And general quadratic equation is

On comparing the given quadratic equation with genral quadratic equation we will have values
a=1, b=-7 and c=-6
After substituting these values in the formula we will get

After substituting in the formula to find x we will get

Answer:
He should have moved to the right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ken moved 7 to the right which is correct because he needs to get 7º higher, but when he moved 2º to the left that would be a temperature decrease which is is incorrect.
Answer:
495
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the sum of the first 18 terms you have to find the 18th term and the first term using the equation given.
a1=3(1)-1 a1=2
a18=3(18)-1 a18= 53
Then plug in 53 for an, 18 for n, and 2 in for a1 in the sum equation: Sn=n/2(a1+an)
Sn=18/2(2+53) Solve for sn= 495
