Answer:
4,600
Step-by-step explanation:
92,000/8= 11500
11500 x 4= 46000 to his wife
11500 for the son
92000-57500= 34500
34500/5= 6,900 each charity
11500-6900= 4600 is how more he is getting than each charity
2x² - 128
2(x² - 64), but (x² - 64) = x² - 8² (difference of 2 squares),[a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)]
2(x² - 64) = 2(x² - 8²) = 2(x-8)(x+8)
To solve for x:
Move all the terms containing "x" to the left side of the equation. Do this by adding x to both sides.
2x+x=3x. The new equation is:
3x-1/2=3
Now, move all terms not containing "x" to the right side of the equation. Do this by adding 1/2 to both sides.
3x=3+1/2 The new equation is:
3x=3 1/2, or 3.5
The final step is to isolate x. To do so, divide each side by 3.
3x/3 = 3 1/2 /3 The new equation is:
x=1 1/6
