12 + 0.35X = 20.05
12 + 0.35X - 12 = 20.05 - 12
0.35X = 8.05
0.35X/0.35 = 8.05/0.35
X = 23
Hope this helps!!
Where’s point P at though
Any time you have a fraction within an equation, multiply the entire equation by the denominator to clear the fraction. Since the lead term is negative, we can multiply that away as well
(-14) (0=-1/14x²+4x+5) [now distribute]
0=x²-56x+70 [try to factor into binomials first]
Since 70 only has prime factors of 2·5·7, there is no combination which equals (-56). Use the quadratic formula, or complete the square. I'll use quadratic:
x=<u>-b+/-√(b²-4ac)</u>
2a
a=1, b=(-56), c=70
x= <u>-(-56)+/- √((-56)²-4(1)(70)</u>
2(1)
x= <u>56+/- √(3136-280)
</u> 2
<u />x=<u>56+/-√(2856)</u>
2
x=<u>56+/-√(2³·3·119)</u>
2
x=<u>56+/-2√(714)</u>
2
x=28+√714; x=28-√714
For this equation
H+1/2= 3 1/4
H is a variable, so it must have a value to it. So it would be 2.75+1/2= 3 1/4
Or 3 1/4 / 1/2 = 2.75
