Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3
6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Factor out the common term; 3
3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Cancel out 3
2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2
2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2
Factor out the common term; 2
2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2
Cancel out 2
2x - 5 = 5x - 2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x
Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
Add 2 to both sides
-5 + 2 = 3x
Simplify -5 + 2 to -3
-3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
- 1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
If you would like to write a * b + c in simplest form, you can do this using the following steps:
a = x + 1
b = x^2 + 2x - 1
c = 2x
a * b + c = (x + 1) * (x^2 + 2x - 1) + 2x = x^3 + 2x^2 - x + x^2 + 2x - 1 + 2x = x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x - 1
The correct result would be x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x - 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding both equations will make it:
Putting x = 10 will make it:
= 3(1000)-40+1
= 3000-39
= 2961
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use the binomial theorem/Pascal's triangle here.
(a+b)^5 = (5 choose 0)a^5 + (5 choose 1)a^4*b + (5 choose 2)a^3*b^2 + (5 choose 3)a^2*b^3 + (5 choose 4)a*b^4 + (5 choose 5)b^5.
5 choose 0 = 1
5 choose 1 = 5
5 choose 2 = 10
5 choose 3 = 10
5 choose 4 = 5
5 choose 5 = 1
And 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1, is the (5+1) = 6th row of pascal's triangle.
Therefore we get
g^5 + 5g^4*2 + 10g^3*2^2 + 10g^2*2^3 + 5g*2^4 + 2^5
which is
g^4 + 10g^4 + 40g^3 + 80g^2 + 80g + 32
Or, you could do the slow way, by just doing (g+2)(g+2)(g+2)(g+2)(g+2)
Answer: 23.4
Explanation: make the volumes equal each other with the ? as x. Then solve.
(12)(18)(32.5)=(25)(12)x
Divide both sides by 12
(18)(32.5)=25x
Solve left side
585=25x
Divide by 25
x=23.4
