Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)

(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1

4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1

0= x²-8x

x²-8x=0

x²=8x

x=8

If 2a - b = 4 , find a.
julia-pushkina [17]
<h2>Answer:  a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)</h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

To solve for 'a' we have to make it the subject of the equation. Since there are two unknowns ('a' & 'b'), we won't get a numerical value of 'a', but an expression in terms of the second unknown 'b'.

Since 2a - b = 4                    <em> [add 'b' to both sides]</em>

then          2a = 4 + b             <em>[divide both sides by 2 = multiplying by  ¹/₂]</em>

                   a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)

Just think of it as normal subtraction. They both have the same denominators all you need to do is subtract. 11/12-7/12 is 4/12 if you simplify which just means to find the number that both 4 and 12 can go into equally the simplified answer would be 1/3. You just need to divide 4 by both the top and the bottom (numerator and denominator).
