Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

4x + 9 = 2x + 15

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract 2x on both sides:                    2x + 9 = 15
  2. Subtract 9 on both sides:                      2x = 6
  3. Divide 2 on both sides:                          x = 3

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    4(3) + 9 = 2(3) + 15
  2. Multiply:                               12 + 9 = 6 + 15
  3. Add:                                     21 = 21

Here we see that 21 does indeed equal 21.

∴ x = 3 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

x can be 3, -3, i, or -i.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can't find the factoring by looking at this, simplify the equation.

let  

x

2

=

y

to make things easier to see

Now we have  

y

2

−

8

y

−

9

=

0

See it now?

We can factor into  

(

y

−

9

)

(

y

+

1

)

Now substitute back in  

x

2

for  

y

.

(

x

2

−

9

)

(

x

2

+

1

)

Since  

(

x

2

−

9

)

is a difference of two squares,

(

x

−

3

)

(

x

+

3

)

Now we have  

(

x

−

3

)

(

x

+

3

)

(

x

2

+

1

)

x can be 3, -3 for the first two parts

x

2

+

1

=

0

can become  

x

2

=

−

1

Taking the positive and negative root means  

x

=

±

√

−

1

Thus  

x

=

±

i

in addition to 3 and -3.
