In doing this you can use the factoring method to do this faster. Start by dividing both sides by two to simplify the equation. X^2 now equals 100.
You can move 100 to the other side of the equation so that x^2-100=0. You can now factor and solve using the zero product property.
x^2-100=0
(x+10)(x-10) = 0
x equals 10 and -10.
Answer:
a=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3a-2.4=5.1 Add the like terms ( plus 2.4 cancels out -2.4)
+2.4 +2.4
3a=7.5 Now divide by 3
/3 /3
a=2.5
Answer: x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
7x=2x+45
5x=45
x=9
For 3 sides to form a triangle two sides added together need to be greater then the 3rd side. You need to check all 3 combinations:
1. 11.5 + 10.5 = 22, 22> 6.1
11.5 + 6.1 = 17.6 17.6 > 10.5
10.5 + 6.1 = 16.6, 16.6 > 11.5
This one can make a triangle.
2. 9.5 + 3.5 > 4.5
9.5 + 4.5 > 3.5
4.5 + 3.5 < 9.5
Cannot make a triangle.
3. 8 + 6.7 > 1
6.7 + 1 < 8
Cannot make a triangle.
4. Can make a triangle
5. Can
6. Can
You can change the denominators so they are alike.

Not sure how there can be two possible answers unless you're mentioning the decimal form:
.775
