x = x
Consider x. Let x be a quantity denoted in the real numbers equal to x. Now, some properties of the real numbers include closure under the four basic operations.
Answer:
A) x = 3 or -1
B) x = -7
C)x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
A) x² + 2x + 1 = 2x² - 2
Rearranging, we have;
2x² - x² - 2x - 2 - 1 = 0
x² - 2x - 3 = 0
Using quadratic formula, we have;
x = [-(-2) ± √((-2)² - 4(1 × -3))]/(2 × 1)
x = (2 ± √16)/2
x = (2 + 4)/2 or (2 - 4)/2
x = 6/2 or -2/2
x = 3 or -1
B) ((x + 2)/3) - 2/15 = (x - 2)/5
Multiply through by 15 to get;
5(x + 2) - 2 = 3(x - 2)
5x + 10 - 2 = 3x - 6
5x - 3x = -6 - 10 + 2
2x = -14
x = -14/2
x = -7
C) log(2x + 3) = 2log x
From log derivations, 2 log x is same as log x²
Thus;
log(2x + 3) = logx²
Log will cancel out to give;
2x + 3 = x²
x² - 2x - 3 = 0
Using quadratic formula, we have;
x = [-(-2) ± √((-2)² - 4(1 × -3))]/(2 × 1)
x = (2 ± √16)/2
x = (2 + 4)/2 or (2 - 4)/2
x = 6/2 or -2/2
x = 3 or -1
Answer:
-14 degrees Celsius
The temperature would be -14 degrees Celsius. 2 - 12 would be -14.
2/3=3r
divide both sides by 3
remember that dividng by 3 is the same as multiplyint by 1/3
2/3 times 1/3=2/9=r
r=2/9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is a whole number and in 2/5 5 is the whole. so 2/5 is like saying you need 5 cups but there is already 2 there :)
