Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(1.5x−6)=2x−0.5(24−16x)

(8)(1.5x)+(8)(−6)=2x+(−0.5)(24)+(−0.5)(−16x)(Distribute)

12x+−48=2x+−12+8x

12x−48=(2x+8x)+(−12)(Combine Like Terms)

12x−48=10x+−12

12x−48=10x−12

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

12x−48−10x=10x−12−10x

2x−48=−12

Step 3: Add 48 to both sides.

2x−48+48=−12+48

2x=36

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=36/2

x=18

Answer:

x=18

-x²-8x-16=0 <br>what is the solutions by solving by quadratic equations ​
Alika [10]

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- x² - 8x - 16 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 to clear the leading negative )

x² + 8x + 16 = 0 ← this is a perfect square

(x + 4)² = 0 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 4

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry of a parabola if its x-intercepts are -3 and 7?
Ostrovityanka [42]
This is a parabola, meaning the equation is a quadratic, so it has 2 roots or x-intercepts, keeping in mind that vertex will lie half-way between those intercepts.

so what's the x-value halfway between -3 and 7?  yeap, you guessed it, 2.

so the axis of symmetry for this vertical parabola will be at x = 2.
