Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-(2x+3)

Notice that we can't further simplify the things in the bracket so we should multiply by -1

Technically this is like:

x - 1(2x+3)

-1 times 2x = -2x   , -1 times 3 is -3

= x - 2x - 3

= -x - 3

Which is the graph of the system of equations?<br> x + 2y = 2<br> 4x - y = 4
Sladkaya [172]
Solve for x for x: x+2y=2
x+2y +-2y=2+-2y (add -2y on both sides.)
x=-2y+2
Substitute : -2y+2 for x in
4x-y=4:
4(-2y+2)-y=4
-9y+8=4 Simplify both sides of the equation.
-9y+8+-8=4+-8 Add -8 to both sides.
-9y=-4
-9/-9=-4-9 Divide both sides by -9
y=4/9
Substitute 4/9 for y in
x=-2y+2
x=-2(4/9)+2
x=10/9
y=4/9,x=10/9

Patel is solving 8x2 + 16x + 3 = 0. Which steps could he use to solve the quadratic equation? Select three options. 8(x2 + 2x +
AnnyKZ [126]

The options Patel has to solve the quadratic equation 8x² + 16x + 3 = 0 is x = –1 Plus or minus StartRoot StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction EndRoot.

<h3>Quadratic equation</h3>

8x² + 16x + 3 = 0

8x² + 16x = -3

8(x² + 2x) = -3

  • Using completing the square

8(x² + 2x + 1) = -3 + 8

  • factorization

8(x² + 1) = 5

(x² + 1) = 5/8

  • Taking the square root of both sides

(x + 1) = ± √5/8

x = -1 ± √5/8

Therefore,

x = –1 Plus or minus StartRoot StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction EndRoot
