Answer:
x = -1 and x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + 2x - 14x - 14
2x^2 - 12x -14
Divide through by 2 to simplify the expression
x^2 - 6x - 7
x^2 - 6x -7
Now, let's think of two numbers that when added up gives -6 and when multiplied gives -7
Yes! It's -7 and +1
-7 + 1 = -6 , and -7* 1 = -7
Now, lets substitute these numbers in the expression
x^2 -7x + x - 7
factorize
x(x - 7) + 1(x - 7)
(x + 1) (x - 7)
Now equate to zero
(x + 1) (x - 7) = 0
x + 1 = 0
subtract 1 from both sides
x +1 - 1 = 0 -1
x = -1
Also,
x - 7 = 0
Add 7 to both sides
x -7 + 7 = 0 + 7
x = 7
Hence, x = -1 and x =7
Answer:
3 courts
Step-by-step explanation:
8,000 = 1 court
24,000 = x courts
8,000 x ? = 24,000
8,000 x <u>3</u> = 24,000
1 x 3 = 3 courts
Answer: 20
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=5
x-y=4
---------
x+y=5
x=4+y
--------
(4+y)+y=5
4+y+y=5
4+2y=5
2y=1
y=0.5
x=4.5
---------
x²-y²=(4.5)²-(0.5)²=20.25-0.25=20
First term = T(1) is obtained by plugging n = 1 into the formula,
thus First term = 1^2 - 4 = 1 - 4
