What is the smallest solution to the equation 2x^2+17=179

1 answer:

3 0

The goal is to put the equation in the simplest form to solve:
2x²+17=179

Subtract both sides by 17.
179-17= 162
2x²=162

Square root 162.
√162 = 12.7 (rounded)
2x=12.7

Divide both sides by 2.
12.7/2= 6.4 (rounded)
x=6.4

The variable x is 6.4, rounded to the nearest tenth for simple purposes.

Hope this was helpful.

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

Anna35 [415]

<span>To write an equation in slope-intercept form, given a graph of that equation, pick two points on the line and use them to find the slope. This is the value of m in the equation. Next, find the coordinates of the y -intercept--this should be of the form (0, b) . ... Therefore, the equation for this line is y = - x + 2 .</span>

For 5 taccos 2 cups cheese is needed.

So 10 taccos is 2*(5 taccos)=2*2 cups cheese =4cups

$\begin{gathered} As\text{ 5 taccos=2cup cheese} \\ 1\text{ tacco=}\frac{2}{5}\text{cup cheese} \\ As\text{5 taccos=2cup cheese} \\ 1\text{ cup cheese=}\frac{5}{2}\text{taccos} \\ So\text{ 10 tacco=10}\ast\frac{2}{5}\text{cup cheese=2}\cdot2=4\text{cups} \\ 10\text{ cup cheese =10}\ast\frac{5}{2}\text{tacco}=5\ast5=25tac\cos \end{gathered}$ $35\text{ taccos}=35\ast\frac{2}{5}=7\cdot2=14\text{ cup cheese}$ $24\text{ cup cheese=}24\ast\frac{5}{2}=12\ast5=60tac\cos$

So to convert taccos to cups of cheese multiply by 2/5 and from cups of cheese to taccos multiply by 5/2.
