25x + -15 = 2y
Reorder the terms:
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 25x = 15 + 2y
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 25x = 15 + 2y
25x = 15 + 2y
Divide each side by '25'.
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Simplifying
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Hello!
Simplifying
5x2 + -7x + -3 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8
Solving
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8
Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms:
-3 + -8 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8
Combine like terms: -3 + -8 = -11
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 0
Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term:
Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2
The x term is -1.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.
Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49
Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49
Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69
Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.640121947
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + -0.7) equal to 1.640121947 and -1.640121947.
Subproblem 1
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947
Simplifying
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947
Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947
Solving
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: 1.640121947 + 0.7 = 2.340121947
x = 2.340121947
Simplifying
x = 2.340121947
Subproblem 2
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947
Simplifying
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947
Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947
Solving
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -1.640121947 + 0.7 = -0.940121947
x = -0.940121947
Simplifying
x = -0.940121947
Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {2.340121947, -0.940121947}
The question is kind of vague in my opinion.
the best measurement to report with the scale in my opinion would be tens of pounds. my reasoning is because the decimal place would still prove importance with numbers under one hundred. above one hundred pounds and the decimal place becomes kind of pointless.
I hope I answered your question. though i'm sorry if i didn't
