Answer:
a) x = -1.5
b) x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
For problem a, you can start by subtracting 3x from both sides to gather all the like terms together:
7x + 5 = 3x - 1
-3x -3x
4x + 5 = -1
Next, to get the coefficients on one side, you subtract 5 from both sides:
4x + 5 = -1
-5 -5
4x = -6
Now, you divide by 4 on both sides to isolate x:
x = -6/4 = -1.5 --- > x = -1.5
For problem b, you start by subtracting 3x from both sides(kinda like problem a):
5x + 12 = 3x + 14
-3x -3x
2x + 12 = 14
Next, you can subtract 12 from both sides, isolating the "x term".
2x + 12 = 14
-12 -12
2x = 2
Lastly, you can divide by 2 to get x:
x = 1

there you go!

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solving Equations Using Successive Approximations</u>
We need to find the solution to the equation
where
The approximation has been already started and reached a state for x=2.5 where
The difference between the results is 0.25, we need further steps to reach a good solution (to the nearest tenth)
Let's test for x=2.4
The new difference is -0.2+0.24=0.04
It's accurate enough, thus the solution is
Answer:
Number of comic books is 75.
Original price of each comic book is 4$.
Step-by-step explanation:
hi,
you must replace x by the number between parenthese.
I show you with the first one and let you do the second one
p(x) = 11x^5 -11x^4 - 5x^2 +15x-8
p(-4) = 11 (-4)^5 - 11 (-4)^4 -5(-4)² +15(-4) -8
p(-4) = 11 ( -1024- 256) - 5*16 -60-8
p(-4) = 11 ( -1280) -80-60-8
p(-4) = - 14080 - 148
p(-4) = - 14 228
