Question

25 POINTS Solve this equation PLEASE AND STEPS 4=1/2(2x+4+x)(x-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x=−2, 2.6666

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4=(1/2(2x+4+x))(x−2)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4=3/2 x2−x−4

Step 2: Subtract 3/2x^2-x-4 from both sides.

4−(3/2 x2−x−4)=

3/2 x2−x−4−(3/2 x2−x−4)

−3/2 x2 +x+8=0

For this equation: a=-1.5, b=1, c=8

−1.5x2+1x+8=0

Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=-1.5, b=1, c=8.

x=−b±√b2−4ac

2a

x=−(1)±√(1)2−4(−1.5)(8)

2(−1.5)

x=−1±√49

−3

x=−2,2.66666666666666666666666666666
