Five times the quantity s + 6 equals 3 times the quantity s - 2. What value of s makes this sentence true?

1 answer:

6 0

5(s + 6)= 3(s - 2)
multiply 5 and 3 by their parentheses

5s + 30= 3s - 6
subtract 3s from both sides

2s + 30= -6
subtract 30 from both sides

2s= -36
divide both sides by 2

s= -18

CHECK:
5(s + 6)= 3(s - 2)
5(-18 + 6)= 3(-18 - 2)
5(-12)= 3(-20)
-60= -60

ANSWER: The value of s that makes the statement true is -18.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

$(x + (3+5i))^2 = x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex numbers identity:

The complex numbers identity is:

$i^2 = -1$

Square of the sum:

$(x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2$

In this question:

$(x + (3+5i))^2$

$x^2 + 2x(3+5i) + (3+5i)^2$

$x^2 + 6x + 10xi + 9 + 30i + 25i^2$

$x^2 + 6x + 9 + (10x+30)i - 25$

$x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16$

$(x + (3+5i))^2 = x^2 + 6x + (10x+30)i - 16$

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) = x2 to the number of x-intercepts in

TEA [102]

F(x) has only one x-intercept when x=0

g(x)=-x^2-6

g(x)=-(x^2+6) so g(x) will have no x-intercepts as its maximum value will be -6.

g(x) is f(x) reflected about the x axis and shifted downwards by 6 units.
