x² - 14x + 46 = 0
subtract 46 from both-side
x² - 14x = -46
Add the square of the half of the co-efficient of x
x² - 14x + (-7)² = -46 + 7²
(x-7)² = -46 + 49
(x-7)² =3
Take the square root of both-side
x-7 = ±√3
x-7= ±1.732
Add 7 to both-side of the equation.
x= 7 ± 1.732
Eithe x= 7 + 1.732 or x= 7 - 1.732
x=8.732 or x=5.268
Therefore x = 8.732 , 5.268
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 6 = x + x original problem
x + 6 = 2x combine like terms
-x = -x subtract x from both sides to have like terms on each side
6 = x solution
An expression does not have an equal sign.
Since the value of a nickel is 5 cents and you want to find out the value of n nickels (which means if you had any number of nickels) the expression would be
