Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+8x - 3 = -25

Combine like terms

11x -3 = -25

Add 3 to each side

11x -3+3 = -25+3

11x = -22

Divide by 11

11x/11 = -22/11

x = -2

$\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:3x \: + \: 8x \: - \: 3 \: = \: - 25$

$\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:11x \: - \: 3 \: = \: - 25$

$\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:11x \: = \: - 25 \: + \: 3$

$\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:11x \: = \: - 22$

$\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \: x \: = \: {\cancel\frac{ {- 22} \:^{ - 2} }{11}} \\$

$\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:x \: = \: - 2$

Show work and Factor 4x^2+xy-18y^2

grigory [225]

Answer:

$4x^2+xy-18y^2=(4x+9y)\,(x-2y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine the following general product of two binomials with variables x and y in different terms:

$(ax+by)\,(cx+dy)= ac\,x^2+adxy+bcxy+bdy^2$

so we want the following to happen:

$a\,c = 4\\ad+bc=1\\bd--18$

Notice as well that $ad+bc =1$ means that those two products must differ in just one unit so, one of them has to be negative, or three of them negative. Given that the product $bd=-18$ , then we can consider the case in which one of this (b or d) is the negative factor. So let's then assume that $a\,\,and \,\,c$ are positive.

We can then try combinations for $a\,\,and \,\,c$ such as:

$a = 4;\,\,c=1\\a=2;\,\,c=2\\a=1;\,\,c=4$

Just by selecting the first one $(a=4;\,\,c=1)$

we get that $4d_b=1\\b=-4d-1$

and since

$bd=-18\\(-4d-1)\,d=-18\\-4d^2-d=-18\\4d^2+d-18=0$

This quadratic equation give as one of its solutions the integer: d = -2, and consequently,

$d=-18/(-2)\\d=9$

Now we have a good combination of parameters to render the factoring form of the original trinomial:

$a=4; \,\,b=9;\,\,c=1;\,\,d=-2$

which makes our factorization:

$(4x+9y)\,(x-2y)=4x^2+xy-18y^2$

Aidan writes numbers on his ten fingers as 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 19, 22, 23. What is the probability of picking an even numbe

faltersainse [42]

It would be 2/10, or 1/5, since two out of the 10 numbers are even. 2/10 simplifies to 1/5, since there is 1 for every 5 numbers.

We could turn this into a percentage by dividing 1 by 5, which gives us 0.2. Then we can multiply by 100 to get 20.

So, our probability of choosing an even number is:
2/10
OR
1/5
OR
20%

Hope I could help!
