(X-5)2+3(X-5)+9 = 0
let expand the equation
(x)x2-(5)x2 + 3(x)-3(5) + 9 = 0
2x-10+3x-15+9=0
collect like terms
2x+3x-10-15+9 =0
5x-10-6 =0
5x-16=0
5x=0+16
5x=16
divide both side by 5 we have
x=16/5
Answer: 48 cubic units
Step-by-step explanation: length x width x height
8 x 2 x 3 which equals 48

Answer:
D. 30.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that A, B, C, D, and E are collinear,
AE = 38,
BD = 15, since segment BC = CD = DE, therefore
BD = ⅔ of BE
15 = ⅔*BE (substitution)
Solve for BE
Multiply each side by 3
15*3 = ⅔*BE*3
45 = 2*BE
Divide both sides by 2
45/2 = BE
22.5 = BE
BE = 22.5
Find AB:
AB + BE = AE (segment addition postulate)
AB + 22.5 = 38 (Substitution)
AB = 38 - 22.5 (Subtracting 22.5 from each side)
AB = 15.5
Find length of segment AD:
AB + BD = AD (segment addition postulate)
15.5 + 15 = AD (Substitution)
30.5 = AD
AD = 30.5
Answer: x = 1.1968729357 ; or, round to: 1.2 .
____________________________________________ You would take the "ln" (that is, "natural logarithm") of EACH side of the equation:
ln (e^4x) = ln (120);
______________________
Then continue:
4x ln e = ln 120
4x = ln 120 ; (since "ln e = 1")
then divide EACH side of the equation by "4", to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
___________________________________
4x / 4 = (ln 120) / 4 ;
___________________________
x = (ln 120) / 4 ;
______________________________
Using a calculator:
_________________________________________________________
x = (ln 120) / 4 = (4.78749174278) / 4 = 1.1968729357
Answer: x = 1.1968729357 ; or, round to: 1.2 .
