Answer:

x = -2/5

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 3x - 2 = 0

(5x + 2)(x - 1) = 0

⇒ 5x + 2 = 0

⇒ 5x = -2

⇒ x = -2/5

⇒ x - 1 = 0

⇒ x = 1

Solve and check 8-(6-8x) =4x+4

navik [9.2K]

Greetings!

"Solve and check $8-(6-8x)=4x+4$ "...

Solve for x:
 $8-(6-8x)=4x+4$
Remove the Parenthesis.
$8-6-8x=4x+4$
Simplify.
$2-8x=4x+4$
Add -4 to both sides.
$(2-8x)+(-4)=(4x+4)+(-4)$
Simplify.
$-2-8x=4x$
Add 8x to both sides.
$(-2-8x)+8x=(4x)+8x$
Simplify.
$-2=12x$
Divide both sides by 12.
$(-2)/12=(12x)/12$
Simplify.
$-0.166666667=x$

The answer is: x=-0.166666667

Hope this helps.
