Twice the difference of x and 5 is -33

2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5

This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.

Solve for x by completing the square: x2 - 12x + 11 = 0
sineoko [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 12x + 11 = 0 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

x² - 12x = - 11

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 = - 11 + 36

(x - 6)² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )

x - 6 = ± \sqrt{25} = ± 5 ( add 6 to both sides )

x = 6 ± 5

Then

x = 6 - 5 = 1 ⇒ (1, 0 )

x = 6 + 5 = 11 ⇒ (11, 0 )

Which of the following represents the sum of the polynomials below?
zysi [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to align the like terms next to each other so that it will be easier to combine like terms. (Like terms have the same variables and powers)

6x^3+(-2x^3)+2x^2+5x^2+9x+3x

Combine like terms:

(When combining like terms all you have to do is add/subtract the coefficients, number in front of variables, and leave the variable and exponents)

6x^3+(-2x^3)= > 6x^3-2x^3=4x^3

2x^2+5x^2=7x^2

9x+3x=12x

So, we get 4x^3+7x^2+12x
