What value of x makes the equation 3(x-6)-8x= -2+5(2x+1) true

Mathematics
1 answer:
QveST [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x= −7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute and combine like terms

3(x−6)−8x=−2+5(2x+1)

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+−8x=−2+(5)(2x)+(5)(1)(Distribute)

3x+−18+−8x=−2+10x+5

(3x+−8x)+(−18)=(10x)+(−2+5)(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−18=10x+3

−5x−18=10x+3

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

−5x−18−10x=10x+3−10x

−15x−18=3

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−15x−18+18=3+18

−15x=21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.

Hope this helps! :)

Divide. Show your work.<br><br> (6x^4-5x^3+6x^2)/2x^2
serg [7]
We can do like we did before, distribute the denominator,

\bf \cfrac{6x^4-5x^3+6x^2}{2x^2}\implies \cfrac{6x^4}{2x^2}-\cfrac{5x^3}{2x^2}+\cfrac{6x^2}{2x^2}\implies \cfrac{6}{2}\cdot \cfrac{x^4}{x^2}-\cfrac{5}{2}\cdot \cfrac{x^3}{x^2}+\cfrac{6}{2}\cdot \cfrac{x^2}{x^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;3 x^4x^{-2}-\cfrac{5}{2}x^3x^{-2}+3x^2x^{-2}\implies 3x^{4-2}-\cfrac{5}{2}x^{3-2}+3x^{2-2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;3x^2-\cfrac{5}{2}x+3x^0\implies 3x^2-\cfrac{5}{2}x+3

What are the solutions to the equation y² –1 = 24? <br><br>Choose all answers that are correct.
noname [10]
Sadly, you didn't give me any choices to choose from.

y² - 1 = 24

Add 1 to each side :

y² = 25

y = √25

<u>y = +5</u>
and
<u>y = -5</u>
