4x + 7x - 2 + 5x - 10 find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
valina [46]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Group like terms

   4x + 7x + 5x - 2 - 10 = x

2) Add similar elements

   16x - 2 - 10 = x

3) Subtract

   16x - 12 = x

4) Add 12 to both sides

   16x - 12 + 12 = x + 12

5) Simplify

   16x = x + 12

6) Subtract x from both sides

   16x - x = x + 12 - x

7) Simplify

   15x = 12

8) Divide both sides by 15

    15x/15 = 12/15

9) Simplify

   x = 4/5

What is the discriminant: 2x^2 + 3x + 10=0
ohaa [14]
The discriminant of a quadratic equation is:

b^2-4ac

Plug in the values. 

3^2-4(2)(10)

=9-80

=-71 

Since the discriminant is negative, you can tell that the quadratic has no real solutions. 

Hope that helped!

What is (x − 3)(x − 5) = 35
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

x=10  x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x − 3)(x − 5) = 35

FOIL

x^2 -5x-3x+15 = 35

Combine like terms

x^2 -8x+15 = 35

Subtract 35 from each side

x^2 -8x+15-35 = 35-35

x^2 -8x-20 =0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to -8

-10*2 = -20

-10 +2 = -8

(x-10)(x+2) =0

Using the zero product property

x-10 =0  x+2 = 0

x=10  x=-2
