3xc = -5, solve for x

Mathematics

Answer:

$x = -\dfrac{5}{3c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You want x alone on the left side.

x is being multiplied by 3 and by c.

The opposite operation of multiplication is division. You must divide 3xc by 3c to end up with just x.

You must do the same operation to both sides of an equation, so divide both sides by 3c.

$3xc = -5$

Divide both sides by 3c.

$\dfrac{3xc}{3c} = \dfrac{-5}{3c}$

Simplify both sides.

$x = -\dfrac{5}{3c}$

Which are the solutions of x2 = –7x – 8?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

The solutions are:

$x_1=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}}{2}$ $x_2=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following quadratic equation

$x^2 = -7x - 8$

We can rewrite the equation as follows

$x^2+7x + 8=0$

Now we use the quadratic formula to solve the equation

For an equation of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$ the quadratic formula is:

$x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In this case:

$a=1,\ b=7,\ c=8$

Then:

$x=\frac{-7\±\sqrt{7^2-4(1)(8)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-7\±\sqrt{49-32}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-7\±\sqrt{17}}{2}$

$x_1=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}}{2}$

$x_2=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}}{2}$
