Hello,

To solve this question, a good method to use is creating an equation.

The number x being multiplied by 4 can be represented as 4x.
If this results in 25, we can create the equation:

4x = 25

To solve for x, you want to remove the coefficient of 4 from x, so we can divide by 4 on both sides (doing this we will only get x on the left side of the equation, which is what we are trying to solve for).

So, dividing by 4 on both sides, we have
(4x / 4) = (25 / 4)
x = 25/4

x = 25/4, which cannot be further simplified as a fraction. However, this can be represented by 6.25 in decimal form.

x = 25/4, or 6.25

Hope this helps!

The answer is 6.25

Let's test this out:

6 * 4 = 24 + (0.25*4) = 25

Given y= 2x squared - 10x find all the real values of x for which y = -3

Thepotemich [5.8K]

$y=2 x^{2} -10x \\ -3=2 x^{2} -10x \\ 2 x^{2} -10x+3=0 \\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}, \ where \ a=2, \ b=-10, \ c=3$
Therefore,
$x=\frac{-(-10) \pm \sqrt{ (-10)^{2} -(4 \times 2 \times 3)} }{2 
\times 2} \\ =\frac{10 \pm \sqrt{ 100 -24} }{4} \\ =\frac{10 \pm \sqrt{ 
76} }{4} \\= \frac{10 + \sqrt{ 76} }{4} \ or \ \frac{10 - \sqrt{ 76} 
}{4} \\ =4.679 \ or \ 0.3206$

Use set builder notation to represent the following set. {... -3, -2, -1, 0} {x | x Z, x ≤ 0} {x | x N, x ≤ 0} {x | x R, x ≤ 0}
