Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 5 = x + 17

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = x + 17

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = 17 + x

Solving

5 + 3x = 17 + x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.

5 + 3x + -1x = 17 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x

5 + 2x = 17 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0

5 + 2x = 17 + 0

5 + 2x = 17

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + 2x = 17 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + 2x = 17 + -5

2x = 17 + -5

Combine like terms: 17 + -5 = 12

2x = 12

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6

Use the method of completing the square to transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q. 3 + x - 3x2 = 9

Triss [41]

To <span>transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q we shall proceed as follows:
3+x-3x^2=9
putting like terms together we have:
-3x^2+x=6
dividing through by -3 we get:
x^2-x/3=-2
but
c=(b/2a)^2
c=(-1/6)^2=1/36
thus the expression will be:
x^2-x/3+1/36=-2+1/36
1/36(6x-1)</span>²=-71/36

the answer is:
1/36(6x-1)²=-71/36

Construct a truth table for the statement: (p v q) v (~p ^ q) -> q

Gnom [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following statement $(p\lor q)\lor(\lnot p \land q) \rightarrow q$

A truth table shows how the truth or falsity of a compound statement depends on the truth or falsity of the simple statements from which it's constructed.

The simple statements from the statement given are:

$\lnot p$ , $p\lor q$ , $\lnot p \land q$ , and $(p\lor q)\lor(\lnot p \land q)$
