Answer:

B) x = 3 or x = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^2 - x = 15

Subtract 15 from both sides:

2 x^2 - x - 15 = 0

x = (1 ± sqrt((-1)^2 - 4×2 (-15)))/(2×2) = (1 ± sqrt(1 + 120))/4 = (1 ± sqrt(121))/4:

x = (1 + sqrt(121))/4 or x = (1 - sqrt(121))/4

sqrt(121) = sqrt(11^2) = 11:

x = (1 + 11)/4 or x = (1 - 11)/4

(1 + 11)/4 = 12/4 = 3:

x = 3 or x = (1 - 11)/4

(1 - 11)/4 = -10/4 = -5/2:

Answer:  x = 3 or x = -5/2

Usimov [2.4K]
W=x
L=2x-4
Perimeter=88
Perimeter=2(l+w)
88=2(2x-4+x)
88=4x-8+2x
88+8=4x+2x
96=6x
96/6=x

Stephanie took a science exam that had two parts.
patriot [66]

Answer:

44 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: She got 16 questions correct, which was 4/5 of the number of part 1 questions.

Let x = total number of questions in part 1

4/5x = 16

Divide both sides by 4/5

x = 16 ÷ 4/5

= 16 × 5/4

= 20

x = 20

There are 20 questions in part 1

She got 16 questions correct, which was 2/3 of the number of part 2 questions.

Let y = number of questions in part 2

2/3y = 16

Divide both sides by 2/3

y = 16 ÷ 2/3

= 16 × 3/2

= 24

y = 24

There are 24 questions in part 2

The total number of questions on Stephanie’s exam = part 1 + part 2

= 20 + 24

= 44 questions

128 stamps and 8 pages have the same amount to add up to 128

So 128 ÷ 8 I'll make it easier

8÷8=1

40÷8=5

80÷8=10

(128÷8)

10+5+1 = 16
