rearrange the equation to where you set it equal to 0 by moving the 25 over.
n2 - 8n -9 = 0
now factor
(n-9)(n+1)
so n1 = 9
n2 = -1
Answer:
a. when x=1 so substitute 1 to any X in the given equation.
y=-3(1)+2.5
y=-3+2.5
y=-0.5
b.when x is -1.5 so substitute -1.5 to any x in the equation
y=-3(-1.5)+2.5
y=-4.5+2.5
y=-2
Answer:
c]
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x =3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4x + 4) = 2(5x+9) - 12
First step is to open the brackets by multiplying. It becomes
3×4x + 3×4 = 2×5x + 2×9 -12
12x + 12 = 10x + 18 - 12
Collecting like terms on the right hand side and left hand side of the equation, it becomes
12x -10x = 18 -12 -12
2x = -6
Negative sign on the right hand side of the equation overwhelms the positive sign on left hand side of the equation. It becomes
2x = -6
x = -6/2 = -3
Checking
3(4×-3 + 4) = 2(5×-3+9) - 12
-24 = -12-12= -24
So x = -3
