Answer:

-4.5=x

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would distribute the -3 to the 4 and x inside the parentheses

It would be -3 x 4= -12

Then -3 x X= -3x

So your equation would now be -12+ -3x = x + 6

Now you add 3x to the -3x to cancel it out and then add it to the x

So your equation now looks like -12=4x +6

Then you subtract 6 from the 6 to cancel it out and add it to the -12

Now your equation looks like -18=4x

Then you divide 4 from the 4x to cancel it out and then divide 4 from the -18

Finally you have -4.5=x

I'm unsure if this is correct but hopefully this helps :)

Fiona wants 6 red, 3 green and 3 yellow buttons on her dress. All buttons must be placed along a straight vertical line with no

elixir [45]

The appropriate method to use in solving the given question is permutation. Then, the numbers of ways to arrange the buttons is 1320 ways.

In the given question, the order of arrangement is important, so that the number of ways that Fiona could order the buttons can be determined by permutation method.

i.e $_{n}$ $P_{r}$ = $\frac{n!}{(n - r)!}$

Red 6

Green 3

Yellow 3

Total 12

Since no two neighbouring buttons of the same colour is allowed, then 3 buttons would be arranged at a time.

Thus, n = 12 and r = 3;

$_{12}$ $P_{3}$ = $\frac{12!}{(12 - 3)!}$

= $\frac{12!}{9!}$

= $\frac{12*11*10*9!}{9!}$

= 12 x 11 x 10

$_{12}$ $P_{3}$ = 1320

Therefore the buttons can be arranged in 1320 ways without two neighbors having the same colour.

Solve the quadratic equation by taking square roots.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² - 16 = 0 ( add 16 to both sides )

2x² = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x² = 8 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{8}$ = ± 2 $\sqrt{2}$

------------------------------------

Given

- 5x² + 9 = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- 5x² = - 9 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x² = $\frac{9}{5}$ ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{\frac{9}{5} }$ = ± $\frac{3}{\sqrt{5} }$

-----------------------------------------

Given

6x² - 15 = 27 ( add 15 to both sides )

6x² = 42 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{7}$
