Answer:

x=-6,11

Step-by-step explanation:

Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

2x-5=17

-(2x-5)=17

2 Solve the 1st equation: 2x-5=17

x=11

3 Solve the 2nd equation: -(2x-5)=17

x=-6x

4 Collect all solutions.

x=-6,11

Need an answer for question 7 HURRY PLEASE 20 POINTS

Answer:

2x^2 = 6x - 5.

-x^2 - 10x = 34.

These have only complex roots/

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 - 5x = -8

3x^2 - 5x + 8 = 0

There are complex roots if the discriminant 9b^2 - 4ac) is negative.

Here the discriminant D = (-5)^2 - 4*-5*8 = 25 + 160

This is positive so the roots are real.

2x^2 = 6x - 5

2x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0

D = (-6)^2 - 4*2*5 = 36 - 40 = -4

So this has no real roots only complex ones.

12x = 9x^2 + 4

9x^2 - 12x + 4 = 0

D = (-12)^2 - 4*9 * 4 = 144 - 144 = 0.

- Real roots.

-x^2 - 10x = 34

x^2 + 10x + 34 = 0

D = (10)^2 - 4*1*34 = 100 - 136 = -36.

No real roots = only complex roots.

Liam is saving up for a new cell phone. He uses the equation P= I + HB, where P is the cost

Stels [109]

Answer:

$H=\dfrac{P-I}{B}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression: P= I + HB

Where:

P = cost of the phone Liam is saving for.
I = amount of money he started with.
H = number of hours he babysits
B = hourly rate for babysitting.

We want to find an expression for H, the number of hours Liam will need to babysit to save enough money for a cell phone.

Our goal is to isolate the variable H in the expression P= I + HB.

P= I + HB

Subtract I from both sides

P-I=I-I+HB

HB=P-I

Divide both sides by B

$\dfrac{HB}{B} =\dfrac{P-I}{B}\\\\$Therefore\\\\H=\dfrac{P-I}{B}$
