Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

0.4(12 - 3x) = 0.3(12x - 16)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                                4.8 - 1.2x = 3.6x - 4.8
  2. Add 1.2x on both sides:          4.8 = 4.8x - 4.8
  3. Add 4.8 on both sides:           9.6 = 4.8x
  4. Divide 4.8 on both sides:       2 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                   x = 2

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Lisa [10]

Answer:

x = - 3 with multiplicity 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 3)(x + 3) = (x - 3)(x + 3)²

Equating each factor to zero and solving for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3 with multiplicity 1

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3

Thus x = - 3 has multiplicity of 2

The fact that the factor is squared gives the multiplicity

(x + 3)³ has root - 3 of multiplicity 3
