What is the value of x in the equation 3(2x + 8) =0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anna71 [15]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute

3(2x+8)=0

6x+24=0

2. Subtract 24 from both sides.

6x+24=0

6x+24-24=0-24

3. Simplify

6x=-24

4. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

6x=-24

\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{-24}{6}

5. Simplify

x=-4

And thats the answer.

I hope this helps        :)

write an expression that represents the number of square feet of wallpaper you will need if the height of the family room is x f
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
<h3>Given</h3>
  • room height is x feet
  • room length is 3x feet
  • room width is 3x feet
  • a door 3 ft wide by 7 ft tall
<h3>Find</h3>
  • The net area of the wall, excluding the door
<h3>Solution</h3>

The area of the wall, including the door, is the room perimeter multiplied by the height of the room. The room perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four walls.

... gross wall area = (3x +3x +3x +3x)·x = 12x²

The area of the door is the product of its height and width.

... door area = (7 t)×(3 ft) = 21 ft²

Then the net wall area, exclusive of the door is ...

... net wall area = gross wall area - door area

... net wall area = 12x² -21 . . . . square feet

Use appropriate algebra and theorem 7.2.1 to find the given inverse laplace transform. (write your answer as a function of t.) ℒ
castortr0y [4]

We assume you want to find the inverse transform of s/(s^2 +3s -4). This can be written in partial fraction form as

(4/5)/(s+4) + (1/5)/(s-1)

which can be found in a table of transforms to be the transform of

(4/5)e^(-4t) + (1/5)e^t


_____

There are a number of ways to determine the partial fractions. They all start with factoring the denominator.

s^2 +3x -4 = (s+4)(s-1)


After that, you can postulate the final form and determine the values of the coefficients that make it so. For example:

A/(s+4) + B/(s-1) = ((A+B)s + (4B-A))/(s^2 +3x -4)


This gives rise to two equations:

(A+B) = 1

(4B-A) = 0

What are the solution(s) of x2-4-0?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

For x^2 - 4 = 0, x  = 2, or x = - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is :

x^2 - 4 = 0

Now, using the ALGEBRAIC IDENTITY:

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

Comparing this with the above expression, we get

x^2 - 4 = 0  = x^2 - (2)^2 = 0\\\implies (x-2)(x+2) = 0

⇒Either (x-2) = 0 , or ( x + 2) = 0

So, if ( x- 2)   = 0 ⇒ x =  2

and if ( x + 2) = 0   ⇒ x = -2

Hence, for x^2 - 4 = 0, x  = 2, or x = - 2.
