X = 5
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain the variable.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
When you factor an expression, you want to take out a factor of the numbers and variables.
Since this expression is a bit hard to factor as itself, we can FOIL the answers to see the correct expressions.
(4x-5)(4x-5)
16x²-20x-20x+25
16x²-40x+25
5x + 10 10
---------- = -------
121 11
make the bottom have same common denominator
10/11 x (10/10) = 100/121
Get rid of the denominator (for both now have 121 as a base)
5x + 10 = 100
5x + 10 (-10) = 100 (-10)
5x = 90
5x/5 = 90/5
x = 18
x = 18 is your answer
hope this helps
X^3-2x^2-5x+6
From the shape, you can immediately tell it’s one of the x^3 functions. Then I just put both in my calculator and looked for which one matched
