Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x = x^2 - 5               Transfer 4x to the right side.

Solution

x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0          Factor

(x - 5)(x + 1)

You want the negative solution. That means that the middle sign must be plus.

x + 1 = 0                   Subtract 10 from both sides

x = - 1                       Ten on the left disappears by the subtraction process.

Is that correct?

4x = x^2 - 5

x = - 10

4*(-1) = (-1)^2 - 5

-4  = ? 1 - 5

-4 = - 4

and it does work.

Jose has $45 to spend at the mall. He buys a toy for $18.63, two candy bars at $0.47 EACH, and a shirt for $12.64 (All prices in
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$12.79

Step-by-step explanation:

$45 - $18.63 = $26.37

$26.37 - ($.47 x 2) = $26.37 - $.94 = $25.43

$25.43 - $12.64 = $12.79

ram is half his fathers age now. ten years ago he was one third his fathers age then what are their present ages
NeX [460]

x   -  Ram's age now

Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:

2x  - Ram's father age now

x - 10   -  Ram's age ten years ago

2x - 10    - Ram's father age ten years ago

ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:

2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)

2x - 10 = 3x - 30

-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x

20 = x

2x = 2•20 = 40

Answer:

<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>

A car braked with a constant deceleration of 64 ft/s2, producing skid marks measuring 50 ft before coming to a stop. How fast wa
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The deceleration is the rate at which the car speed decreases. In this case the speed of the car goes all the way down to 0 ft/s and in order to do that it travelled 50 ft.  So we will call the initial speed at which the car started to brake "v_0" and use Torricelli's equation to find it. The equation is given by:

v^2 = (v_0)^2 + 2*a*S

Where v is the final speed, v_0 is the initial speed, a is the rate of acceleration and S is the space travelled. Using the values that the problem gave to us we have:

0^2 = (v_0)^2 - 2*64*50

0 = (v_0)^2 - 6400

(v_0)^2 = 6400

v_0 = sqrt(6400) = 80 ft/s

Notice that in this case "a" was negative, since the car was decelerating instead of accelerating.

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.
