Solve for x: x^2+4x-5=16x
first take 16x from both sides of the equation
x²-12x-5=0
now we have a quadratic. we can solve it by using the quadratic formula
x=-b plus or minus the square root of b²-4ac all divided by 2a
where a=1, b=-12 and c=-5
plug these numbers into the formula
x=12 plus or minus the square root of 144-4x1x-5 all divided by 2
<span>x=12 plus or minus the square root of 164 all divided by 2
or in decimal form </span>x = {12.403124237, -0.403124237}
Hey!
To solve this equation, we'd first have to apply the distributing rule to this equation.
<em>Original Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Changed by Applying the Distribution Rule} :</em>

· 3a · 2 +

And now we simplify.
<em>Old Equation :</em>

· 3a · 2 +

<em>New Equation {Old Equation Simplified} :</em>

- 12a + 4
<em>So, the equation

simplified is</em>
- 12a + 4.Hope this helps!

Answer:
(-4.5, 4.25) The first one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in -4.5 in for x and 4.25 for y in BOTH problems. When you plug them in and they both work out for BOTH problems then its the answer.
Answer: A: -25/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5 7 12 16 18 24 12 and 16 are in the middle. Add 12 and 16 and then divide by 2 (28/2)= 14
