Hello!
To solve this, first perform the opposite operation for the last operation (on the left side) on both sides. The last operation of the left side is squaring. Therefore, square root both sides.
Please note that you must include ±. This is because the square root of 64 can be either positive or negative, as a square of either a positive or negative number is positive.
Now, add 9 to both sides.
There are 2 solutions from here. One comes from adding 8, and the other subtracting 8. Therefore, the two solutions are:
y = 9 + 8 = 17
y = 9 - 8 = 1
Therefore, your two solutions are 17 and 1.
Hope this helps!
-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.
-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.
-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.
-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.
+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.
-7.8x = -7
Simplified.
-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.
7.8x = 7
Simplified
(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.
x = 1.11428571429
The answer !
I hope this helped !
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a(1) = -7 (given)
a(2) = a(1) + 4 = -7 + 4 = -3
a(3) = a(2) + 4 = -3 + 4 = 1
a(4) = a(3) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5
and so on.

that should be your answer
Answer:
EF=6
Step-by-step explanation:
E is the midpoint, so DE = EF
DE = 15-3x
EF = x+ 3
Since DE = EF,
15 - 3x = x + 3
-4x = -12
x = 3
If x = 3,
DE = 15 - 3*3, 15 - 9 = 6
EF = x+ 3, so EF = 3 + 3 = 6
