Not sure what five-step strategy you need but here’s how to solve the general problem:

1. Let the unknown number be x

2. Apply steps described in problem to x
2x-5=43

3. Add 5 on both sides
2x=48

4. Divide both sides by 2
x=24

Answer: Let n = the number

n + 0.7n = 204

1.7n = 204

1.7n/1.7 = 204/1.7

n = 120

Solve 2x2 + x − 4 = 0.<br><br><br> x^2 + ____x+____ = 0
alisha [4.7K]

Kate: Please, for clarity, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: 2x^2 + x − 4 = 0


And please include the instructions.


2x^2 + x − 4 = 0 can be re-written: 2(x^2 + (1/2)x - 2) = 0


Dividing both sides by 2 results in x^2 + (1/2)x - 2 = 0


Let's "complete the square:" x^2 + (1/2)x + (1/4)^2 - (1/4)^2 = 0


Then (x+(1/4))^2 = (1/4)^2


Taking the sqrt of both sides: x+1/4 = plus or minus 1/4


Solving for x: x = -1/4 plus or minus 1/4


Solving for x (continued): x = 0 and x = -1/2

Jay’s father is twice as old as Jay. In 20 years Jay will be two thirds as old as his father. Find the number
oksian1 [2.3K]

Let the age of Jay be x years, so age of Jay's father is 2x years .

After 20 years,

Jay's age will be (x+20)years

And Jay's father age will be (2x+20) years

But at that time, jay's  age will be

\frac{2}{3} (2x+20) years

So we have

x+20 = \frac{2}{3} (2x+20)

Cross multiplication

3(x+20) = 2(2x+20)&#10;\\&#10;3x+60 = 4x + 40&#10;\\&#10;60-40 = 4x-3x&#10;\\&#10;x=20 years

Therefore Jay's age is 20 years and Jay's Father's age is 40 years .
