Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

Is 7 means the end result is 7.

choose the equation that shows a step in the process of completing the square on the given quadratic. y = x2 8x – 3 y = x2 8x 8

posledela

Y = x^2 + 8x - 3
y = x^2 + 8x + (8/2)^2 - 3 - (8/2)^2
y = x^2 + 8x + 16 - 3 - 16

$\qquad \qquad\huge \underline{\boxed{\sf Answer}}$

Let's solve ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{2x - 1}{5} = \dfrac{x - 2}{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2(2x - 1) = 5(x - 2)$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 4x - 2 = 5x - 10$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 5x - 4x = -2 + 10$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: x = 8$
