Step-by-step explanation: The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!
Answer:
Just like combining like terms with the same variables, you combine like
radicals with the same number under the radical signs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example:
3x + 2x
= 5x {combined like terms}
3√2 + 2√2
= 5√2 {combined like radicals}
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
d. c = 100; (x – 10)²
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that (x+a)²=x²+2ax+a².
In our case, 2a=-20, so 'a' must be -10.
Since c=a², and a=-10, c=(-10²)=100.
Since a=-10, the perfect square is (x – 10)²
