We have the following expression:
(x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
Let's rewrite the given expression:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
x = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
- 5x + 10 - x - 2 = 50, that is
- 6x + 8 = 50 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
- 6x = 42 ( divide both sides by - 6 )
x = - 7
Answer: x=-14
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer the third option (4,2)
