Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: x^2 : (20 - 3x) = 1 : 2
2x^2 + 3x - 20 = 0
(x + 4)(2x - 5) = 0
Solution:
x = -4
x = 5/2
Answer:
n = 8 or n = −6
Explanation:
First, isolate the absolute value:
5 − |n − 1| = −2
7 − |n − 1| = 0
7 = |n − 1|
Then, split this into two equations, since the result of the absolute value could be positive or negative:
7 = n − 1 7 = −(n − 1)
8 = n 7 = −n + 1
n = −6
