Answer: x can equal -3.2 or -7.4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct expression is:
2|x+5.3|=4.2
So, we have an absolute value equation, where it can be positive or negative:
2 (x+5.3)=4.2
2x+10.6 =4.2
2x=4.2-10.6
2x = -6.4
x= -6.4/2
x = -3.2
2[-(x+5.3)]=4.2
-2x-10.6 =4.2
-2x= 4.2+10.6
-2x= 14.8
x= 14.8/-2
x= -7.4
x can equal -3.2 or -7.4.

Answer:
C. 800 miles per 16 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
600 ÷ 15 = 40
1500 ÷ 50 = 30
800 ÷ 16 = 50
900 ÷ 20 = 45
40 > 30 < 50 > 45
Answer:
8 Km
Step-by-step explanation:
16 x 50000 = 800,000 cm
800,000 cm = 8,000 m
8,000 m = 8 km
I hope this helps, if not sorry
Answer:
(x + 1)² = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
-2x = x² - 6
We'll start by rearranging it to solve for zero:
x² + 2x - 6 = 0
The first term is already a perfect square so that's fine. Normally, if that term had a non-square coefficient, you would need to multiply all terms a value that would change that constant to a perfect square.
Because it's already square (1), we can simply move to the next step, separating the -6 into a value that can be doubled to give us the 2, the coefficient of the second term. That value will of course be 1, giving us:
x² + 2x + 1 - 1 - 6 = 0
Now can group our perfect square on the left and our constants on the right:
x² + 2x + 1 - 7= 0
x² + 2x + 1 = 7
(x + 1)² = 7
To check our answer, we can solve for x:
x + 1 = ± √7
x = -1 ± √7
x ≈ 1.65, -3.65
Let's try one of those in the original equation:
-2x = x² - 6
-2(1.65) = 1.65² - 6
- 3.3 = 2.72 - 6
-3.3 = -3.28
Good. Given our rounding that difference of 2/100 is acceptable, so the answer is correct.
