Let's say Ronnie is thinking of X.
If 2(x) = x+5, we would first distribute the 2.
2x = x+5
We would then need to isolate the variable. We would do so by getting all variables to one side. The easier choice would be to subtract x from both sides.
2x=x+5
-1x -1x
This becomes
x=5
Ronnie is thinking of the number five.
5•2=10 and 5+5=10.
The commutative porperty states that numbers can be swapped over , they can change their place in the equation and the result will still be the same.
In our case 13 x 7 x 21, the commutative property means that the numbers can be rearranged
13x7x21=13x21x7=7x21x13=7x13x21
Δ=88
1) Using the Quadratic Equation to Solve
3x²-8x+1=3
3x²-8x+1-3=3-3
3x² -8x -2=0
2)Let's find the discriminant
Δ= (-8)²-4(3)(-2)
Δ=64 -4(3)(-2)
Δ=88
27a² + 18ax + 45a = 9a(3a + 2x + 5)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This missing part is 3a + 2x + 5.
