- Your answer is no solution.
- Because if we transpose 10x to the left hand side with a change in the symbol, then it will become 0.
- 10x - 1 = 10x +4
- or, 10x - 10x = 4 + 5
- or, 0 = 9
- Hence, the equation has <em><u>no solution</u></em>.
Hope you could get an idea from here.

“Four times the difference of a number and 7 is 32”
Translation-
4(x-7)=32
2x2-5x-18=0
Two solutions were found :
x = -2
x = 9/2 = 4.500
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2x2 - 5x) - 18 = 0
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2x2-5x-18
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -18
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -18 = -36
Step-2 : Find two factors of -36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
-36 + 1 = -35
-18 + 2 = -16
-12 + 3 = -9
-9 + 4 = -5 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -9 and 4
2x2 - 9x + 4x - 18
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (2x-9)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (2x-9)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+2) • (2x-9)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(2x - 9) • (x + 2) = 0
Step 3 :
Theory - Roots of a product :
3.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
To find the number of miles Erma can drive, you will write and equation and solve it to find the amount of miles that can be driven on $600 over the 1600 miles that are allowed.
Daily rate + cost per mile over 1600 = total cost
(65 x 8) + 0.24m = 600
520 + 0.24m = 600
-520 -520
<u>0.24m </u>= <u>80</u>
0.24 0.24
m = 333.33... miles
The maximum number of whole miles she can drive would be 1933 miles (1600 + 333).
Y=-4/3x+300 hope this helps
