According to above figure, the angles (8x - 20)° and (5x + 37)° are pairs of vertical opposite angles, so
Short AnswerThere are two numbers
x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682i <<<<
answer 1x2 = - 0.25 - 0.9582i <<<<
answer 2 I take it there are two such numbers.
Let one number = x
Let one number = y
x + y = -0.5
y = - 0.5 - x (1)
xy = 1 (2)
Put equation 1 into equation 2
xy = 1
x(-0.5 - x) = 1
-0.5x - x^2 = 1 Subtract 1 from both sides.
-0.5x - x^2 - 1 = 0 Order these by powers
-x^2 - 0.5x -1 = 0 Multiply though by - 1
x^2 + 0.5x + 1 = 0 Use the quadratic formula to solve this.

a = 1
b = 0.5
c = 1

x = [-0.5 +/- sqrt(0.25 - 4)] / 2
x = [-0.5 +/- sqrt(-3.75)] / 2
x = [-0.25 +/- 0.9682i
x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682 i
x2 = -0.25 - 0.9682 i
These two are conjugates. They will add as x1 + x2 = -0.25 - 0.25 = - 0.50.
The complex parts cancel out. Getting them to multiply to 1 will be a little more difficult. I'll do that under the check.
Check(-0.25 - 0.9682i)(-0.25 + 0.9682i)
Use FOIL
F:-0.25 * -0.25 = 0.0625
O: -0.25*0.9682i
I: +0.25*0.9682i
L: -0.9682i*0.9682i = - 0.9375 i^2 = 0.9375
NoticeThe two middle terms (labled "O" and "I" ) cancel out. They are of opposite signs.
The final result is 0.9375 and 0.0625 add up to 1
Answer:
x < 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Allen has already run 3 hours and will run x amount more to finish. This is 3+x. He must finish under or less than 5.5 hours. So 3 + x < 5.5. You solve and find x < 2.5.
Answer:
25x-49
Step-by-step explanation:
5x×5x=25x 5x×-7= -35x
7×5x=35x 7×-7=-49
(combine like terms)25x+-35x+35x= 25
hope that helped you!
Answer:
n=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given -> -2(n+5)+6n=14
Distributive Property -> -2n-10+6n=14
Combine like terms -> 4n-10=14
Add 10 to both sides -> 4n=24
Divide both sides by 4 -> n=6
So n=6
