Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
To solve this question we will use PEMDAS (order of operations)
4x−7=8x+33
Subtract 8x from both sides.
4x−7−8x=33
Combine 4x and −8x to get −4x.
−4x−7=33
Add 7 to both sides.
−4x=33+7
Add 33 and 7 to get 40.
−4x=40
Divide both sides by −4.
x= 40/-4
Divide 40 by −4 to get −10.
x=−10
Answer:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
8 x^2 - 12 x - 23 = -5
Divide both sides by 8:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 - 23/8 = -5/8
Add 23/8 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 = 9/4
Add 9/16 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 + 9/16 = 45/16
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 3/4)^2 = 45/16
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 3/4 = (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
Answer: x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
The final answer would be:
9x / (x-8)

Note that when dividing two fractions, we convert the division into multiplication and flip the second term.
