Mathematics

Answer:

x = 1 or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

ax^{2} + bx + c = 0

x = \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a\\}

as x^{2} + 2x - 1 = 2 ⇔  x^{2} + 2x - 3 = 0, its solution is

x = \frac{-2±\sqrt{2^{2}-4 *1*(-3)} }{2*1}

=  \frac{-2±\sqrt{4+12} }{2} =  \frac{-2±\sqrt{16} }{2} =  \frac{-2±\ 4 }{2}

therefore, x = 1 or x = -3

hope this helps! :D

have a miraculous day, and brainliest is immensely appreciated!! <3

If f(1) = 6 and f(n) = f(n − 1) +3, then f(7) =<br> (1) 10 (2) 24 (3) 15<br> (4) 18
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) = f(n − 1) + 3

if n = 7 => f(7) = f(7-1) + 3 = f(6) + 3

if n = 6 => f(6) = f(6-1) + 3 = f(5) + 3

if n = 5 => f(5) = f(5-1) + 3 = f(4) + 3

if n = 4 => f(4) = f(4-1) + 3 = f(3) + 3

if n = 3 => f(3) = f(3-1) + 3 = f(2) + 3

if n = 2 => f(2) = f(2-1) + 3 = f(1) + 3

if f(1) = 6 then f(2) = 9

f(3) = 12

f(4) = 15

f(5) = 18

f(6) = 21

f(7) = 24

What is the solution to the equation 2(x - 3) = 2x + 5
Genrish500 [490]
Hello there!

2(x - 3) = 2x + 5

Let's start by using the distributive property for the left side.

(2)(x) + (2)(-3) = 2x + 5

2x - 6 = 2x + 5

Then we need to add 6 to both sides

2x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 5 + 6

2x = 2x + 11

We need to transfer 2x on the left side, we gonna do that by subtracting 2x from both sides

2x - 2x = 2x + 11 - 2x

0 = 11

Thus,

There are no solutions.

I hope this helps!

Good luck with your career!

2p + 3x = 680 x = 2p
svlad2 [7]
Use substitution. 

2p + 3(2p) = 680
2p + 6p = 680
8p = 680
p = 85

Plug in.
x = 2p
x = 2(85)
x = 170
p = 85

For a craft each student will need five rubber bands.There.There are eight students.Rubber bands come in bags of nine. How many
matrenka [14]

Answer:

40 rubber bands are needed

5 rubber bands will be left from 5 bags of of rubber band

Step-by-step explanation:

Each student will need five rubber bands.

There are eight students

Total rubber bands needed = rubber bands per student × number of students

= 5 × 8

= 40

Total rubber bands needed = 40

Rubber bands come in bags of nine.

Number of bags needed = Total rubber bands needed / number of rubber bands in each bag

= 40 / 9

= 4.44 bags

It is impossible to get decimal number of rubber bands bag, so, the next whole number after 4 is 5

5 rubber bands bags will be bought which = 5 × 9

= 45 rubber bands

Only 40 rubber bands are needed

Left over rubber bands = 45 - 40

= 5 rubber bands
