Answer:

x = - 1, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = (x + 1)² ← expand using FOIL , then

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = x² + 2x + 1 , that is

3x + 3 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract 3x + 3 from both sides )

0 = x² - x - 2 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 2)(x + 1) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

How to know if a number is proportional

Dafna1 [17]

Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional. To see this process in action, check out this tutorial!

What is the solution set for 5x>15?

denis23 [38]

Answer= X>3

5x>15

Divide both sides by 5x

$\frac{5 x}{5x} > \frac{15}{5x}$

5x will cancel with 15. You get 3

So, x>3

For the following exercises, determine whether the functions are even, odd, or neither.

Answer:

The solutions of the equation |2 x-3|=17

are x=10

and x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations is |2 x-3|=17.

It is required to find out the values of x satisfying the given equation.

To find it out, use the fact that the solution of this type of equation is 2x-3=17.

Or 2x-3=-17 and simplify the equations using simple mathematical operations.

Step 1 of 2

Solve the equation 2x-3=17,

Add 3 on both sides of the equation 2x-3=17,

2x-3+3=17+3

2x=20

Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation 2x=20,

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{2 x}{2}=\frac{20}{2} \\&x=10\end{aligned}$

Step 2 of 2

Solve the equation 2x-3=-17,

Add 3 on both sides of the equation 2x-3=-17,

$2 x-3+3=-17+3$\\ $2 x=-14$

Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation 2x=-14,

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{2 x}{2}=\frac{-14}{2} \\&x=-7\end{aligned}$
