Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Square Root of 225 is 15 (with -15 also it would work but let’s stick to positive root)

Now, the 1st Odd Number is 15 -2 = 13 and the 3rd Odd Number is 15 + 2 = 17.

The required Numbers are 13 and 17.

This works for 3 consecutive Even Numbers also.

Why does it work?

Because, if we have 3 numbers to be a-2, a and a+2 (Doesn’t really matter if a is positive or negative)

(a-2)*(a+2) = a^2 - 4

So, you see adding 4 to the Product of the 1st Number and the 3rd Number (a^2 - 4 + 4 = a^2) gives you the square of the Middle Number, which is a^2!

When the equation a – bx = cx + d is solved for x, the result is x = StartFraction a minus d Over b plus c EndFraction..
kiruha [24]

Answer:

x = -12/14 is the required solution for the given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

5 – 6 x  = 8 x + 17

Now, here solving the expression for the value of x, we get:

5 – 6 x  = 8 x + 17

⇒ 5 -  17   = 8 x +  6 x

⇒- 12  = 14 x

or, x  = -12 / 14

Hence, x = -12/14 is the required solution for the given expression.

If f(x) = (x^1/2 - x)
Slav-nsk [51]
Well, you are subtracting g(x) from f(x) so:

√x-x-(2x^3-√x-x) which is:

√x-x-2x^3+√x+x  (you have your signs wrong at the bottom of your post)

Now you would simply combine like terms (do your addition and subtraction of like terms)

-2x^3+2√x

So the answer is D.
