I am not sure if the “+” was supposed to go there or if that was just a typo, so I do apologize if this is wrong... but if it doesn’t belong in the equation at all, 20 = 2X is a fairly simply multiplication problem. You are to divide both sides by the 2 and you should get X = 10, because 2 goes into 20, 10 times; and the 2 goes into 2 only once, therefore the 2 now gets cancelled out.
Answer: 20 divided by 2 = 2x divided by 2 is now 10 = X.
Really hope this helps you, have a good day :)
(x^2 - 3x + 1) - (x^2 + 2x + 7)
Distribute the negative
x^2 - 3x + 1 - x^2 - 2x - 7
Combine like terms
-5x - 6
“Square five times a number” with “a number” being x is the same as saying:
5x²
“three more than the number” is the same as saying:
3 + x
Therefore the sentence “When you square five times a number, you get three more than the number.” is the same as:
5x² = 3 + x
Hope this helps, have a great day! :)
y = x - 3
1. Subtract 7 from the right to the left.
* 4y = 4x - 12
2. Divide the 4 (constant) next to the 'y' to the other side.
* y = 4/4x - 12/4
* y = x - 3
I posted what I have in the other post it's same question
