Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
3/2x6/2=18/2 Simply that and it turns to 9.
Step-by-step explanation: Begin by studying the pattern.
Notice that the 1 + 1 is 2, 2 + 3 is 5, 5 + 5 is 10, and 10 + 7 is 17.
So thus far, we're adding 1, 3, 5, and 7. Notice that each of these numbers have a difference of 2 so we would add 9 to get to next number and so on.
So it's saying to
(5x^2 + 10x - 5) - (7x^2 + 4x - 9)
Collect the like terms
and regroup
(5x^2 - 7x^2) + (10x - 4x) + ( -5 + 9)
Simplify
-2x^2 + 6x + 4
Hope this helps :)
No, ur friend is not correct
| 3x + 8 | - 9 = -5....u have to get the absolute value (and everything in it) on one side of the equal sign, and everything else on the other side. So we have to get that -9 across the equal sign by adding 9 to both sides
| 3x + 8 } = -5 + 9
| 3x + 8 | = 4...so that number is not negative anymore
now u can set up ur 2 equations and solve for x...ur 2 equations would be:
3x + 8 = 4 and 3x + 8 = -4...so there will be 2 solutions
** if that -9 would not have been there, then ur friend would have been correct
