Answer:

x =4

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y = 1/2

(x + 2) / (y + 1) = 2/3

Cross multiply the first equation

2x = y

Put that value for y into the second equation.

(x + 2) / (2x + 1) = 2/3              Cross multiply

3(x + 2) = 2(2x + 1)                   Remove the brackets.

3x + 6 = 4x + 2                        Subtract 3x from both sides

6 = 4x - 3x + 2

6 = x + 2                                  Subtract 2 from both sides

6-2 = x

x = 4

Is x+2 a factor of 3x^4+7x^3+3x^2-x-4?
Serhud [2]
Lets check by putting x= - 2
3x^4+7x^3+3x^2-x-4=0
3(-2)^4+7(-2)^3+3(-2)^2+2-4=0
3*16-56+12-2=0
48-56+10=
2=0 No

Factor completely 8x2 − 4x − 84. 4(2x − 3)(x 7) 4(2x 3)(x − 7) 4(x − 3)(2x 7) 4(x 3)(2x − 7).
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The factor of the given equation  8x^{2} -4x-84 will be  4(x+3)(2x-7)

<h3>What will be the factor of the given equation?</h3>

Given equation is 8x^{2} -4x-84

Now taking 2 commons from the equation

4(2x^{2} -x-21)

now splitting the equation we get

4(2x^{2} +6x-7x-21)

4(2x(x+3)-7(x+3))

4(x+3)(2x-7)

Thus the factor of the given equation  8x^{2} -4x-84 will be  

4(x+3)(2x-7)
