Sqrt(2x-6)=3-x Solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
soldi70 [24.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{2x - 6}  = 3 - x

Square both sides of the equation

2x - 6 = (3 - x)^{2} = 9 - 6x + x^{2} \\

x^{2}  - 8x + 15 = 0\\

(x - 3)(x - 5) = 0

x = 3 or 5

Now, you must always check your results because a result may not satisfy the original equation.

If x = 3, then \sqrt{2x - 6} = \sqrt{2(3) - 6} = \sqrt{6 - 6}  = \sqrt{0} = 0  and 3 - x = 3 - 3 = 0

So 3 satisfies the original.

If x = 5, then \sqrt{2(5) - 6}  = \sqrt{10 - 6} = \sqrt{4} = 2,  but 3 - x = 3 - 5 = -2.  Therefore, 5 does NOT satisfy the original equation.

That means that x = 3 is the solution to the equation.

Completing the square:
vichka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Key to this method is remembering that

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

So, if you divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it, that will complete the square. With that in mind, things are easy.

6/2 = 3, so add 3^2 = 9

x^2+6x+9 = (x+3)^2

So, c=9

Similarly, for the other two,

c = (\frac{-34}{2} )^2 = (-17)^2 = 289

You don't really have to worry about the sign, since squaring will always make it positive

(\frac{25}{13}) ^2 = \frac{625}{169}

Ken started a savings account for school. He plans on spending 10% of the money he earns for leisure activities. He needs to hav
KiRa [710]

Answer:

He must earn $2,400 to cover both leisure and $2,160 for school expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount Ken must earn be k.  Then 10% of that would cover leisure activities and the remaining 90% specifically for school expenses.

Then 0.90k = $2,160, and k = $2,400.

He must earn $2,400 to cover both leisure and $2,160 for school expenses.
