Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, distrubute 2 to our parentheses (2x - 10). Now, let's add our like terms, 2x - 10 = 4x + 6 since x alone is one we add this to 3x, equaling 4x. Then we're going to move our variable and sign, 2x - 10 - 4x = 6. Alright, now combine like terms and calculate (2x - 4x), we know when we subtract two and four, it's a negative 2, -2x = 6 + 10 = 16. Now divide both sides of the equation by -2, 16 divided by -2 is -8. Therefore, x = -8, hope this helped! Have a great day!

Find two positive numbers whose difference is 30 and whose product is 2584.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

$38$ and $68$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the smaller one of the two number.

$x$ must be a positive integer. The other number would be $(x + 30)$ .

The question states that the product of the two numbers is $2584$ . In other words:

$x\, (x + 30) = 2584$ .

Rearrange this equation and solve for $x$ :

$x^{2} + 30\, x - 2584 = 0$ .

The first root of this quadratic equation would be:

$\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{900 + 10336}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{11236}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30)}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{11236}{2^{2}}} \\ &= (-15) + \sqrt{2809} \\ &= (-15) + 53 \\ &= 38 \end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, the second root of this quadratic equation would be:

$\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) - \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= (-15) - 53 \\ &= -68\end{aligned}$ .

Since the question requires that both numbers should be positive, $x > 0$ . Therefore, only $x = 38$ is valid.

Hence, the two numbers would be $38$ and $(38 + 30)$ , which is $68$ .
