Answer:
write your question properly...
It would be 2(x+3)(x+1)=0
Explanation:
I used factor by grouping. You multiply the first term (2) by the last term (6). This gives you 12 then take the factors of 12 that add up to the middle term 8. You get 6 and 2.
It should look like 2x^2+6x+2x+6=0
when you do factor by grouping you factor the first two terms and then the last two terms separately. So you get (2x+2) and (x+3). (2x+2) could be factored into 2(x+1). Then you put everything together and get 2(x+3)(x+1)=0
Answer:
x = 3.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is (5 - x) / 2 = 2x - 7
Multiply both sides by 2:
5 - x = 4x - 14
Add 14 to both sides:
19 - x = 4x
Add x to both sides:
19 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:
3.8 = x
Therefore, x = 3.8.
Answer:
The first set of consecutive even integers equals (8 , 6)
The second set is ( - 8 and - 6) which also works.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation
(x)^2 + (x + 2)^2 = (x)(x + 2) + 52 Remove the brackets on both sides
Solution
x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = x^2 + 2x + 52 Collect the like terms on the left
2x^2+ 4x+ 4 = x^2 + 2x + 52 Subtract right side from left
2x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 2x + 4 - 52 = 0 Collect the like terms
x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 Factor
(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0
Answer
Try the one you know works.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6
Therefore the two integers are 6 and 8
6^2 + 8^2 = 100
6*8 + 52 = 100
So 6 and 8 is one set of consecutive even numbers that works.
========================
What about the other set.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8
x and x + 2
- 8 and -8 + 2 = - 8, - 6
(- 8 )^2 + (- 6)^2 = 100
(-8)(-6) + 52 = 100
Both sets of consecutive numbers work.
2y+1=0.5+y.
Hope this helps!
