Equation: x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
Solution: x = -136
<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>
x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
2 + 15 = 7/8x - x
17 = 7/8x - 8/8x
17 = -1/8x
17 × -8 = x
-136 = x
Answer:
x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
So glad I could help! Here's why well we do definitely need to factor the area.
Because when factoring we have to expressions multiplying by each other.
A=LxW
Factored Expression=(x+5)(x-5)
See now it's LxW.
IF that makes sense and helped you please hit Thank button!

Glad I could help!
The sum of three primes is 18 so they must all be smaller than 18 as well.
Primes less than 18=2,3,5,7,11,13,17
2,3, and 13
2,5, and 11
There are two solutions...
<h3>Answer:</h3>
±12 (two answers)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Suppose one root is <em>a</em>. Then the other root will be -3<em>a</em>. The product of the two roots is the ratio of the constant coefficient to the leading coefficient:
(<em>a</em>)(-3<em>a</em>) = -27/4
<em>a</em>² = -27/(4·(-3)) = 9/4
<em>a</em> = ±√(9/4) = ±3/2
Then the other root is
-3<em>a</em> = -3(±3/2) = ±9/2 . . . . . . the roots will have opposite signs
We know the opposite of the sum of these roots will be the ratio of the linear term coefficient to the leading coefficient: b/4, so ...
-(a + (-3a)) = b/4
2a = b/4
b = 8a = 8·(±3/2)
b = ±12
_____
<em>Check</em>
For b = 12, the equation factors as ...
4x² +12x -27 = (2x -3)(2x +9) = 0
It has roots -9/2 and +3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
For b = -12, the equation factors as ...
4x² -12x -27 = (2x +3)(2x -9) = 0
It has roots 9/2 and -3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
