Answer:
x = - 5, x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )
x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)
The factors are 5 and 3, since
5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus
(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
Answer:
- 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 ( x + 5 ) = 9
x + 5 = 9 / 3
x + 5 = 3
x = 3 - 5
x = - 2
Remember that if something is raised to a fraction exponent, the denominator of the fraction is the radical and the numerator stays a power. So it becomes:
fourth root of (48c)^3

Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you needed to solve for x. Here is how you do it:
first, divide both sides by 4/5 to get x by itself.
this will give you x=8 divided by 4/5.
To solve 8 divided by 4/5 you do keep switch flip.
keep the first number (8), switch the sign (division to multiplication), and flip the other fraction (4/5 to 5/4) then you can just multiply across the top (8/1 *5/4) which equals 40/4. This simplified is 10
