2x + 5 = -7

2x = -5 -7

2x = -12

x= -6

2(-6) + 5 = -7

-12 + 5 = -7

-7 = -7 True

2x+5= -7
2 x -6 +5 = -7
-12 + 5=-7
-7 = -7

x=-6

How to simplify the expression (2^2)÷2^10

dimulka [17.4K]

Simplify means solve and to solve we first need to do 2 to the 2nd power which is two * 2 that equal 4 than do 2 to the 10th power that equal 1024 and than we can just do

4 divided by 1024 = 0.0390625

If 15% of an item is $18.00 what was the original price?

larisa [96]

<span>from the whole price,
15% of this price is equal to $18.00.
therefore if 15 % equals $18.00

then 100% is the original price therefore 100 % = 18.00 / 15 % x 100% = $120 therefore original price = $120</span>

The fare for a taxi cab is $2.50 per passenger and $0.75 for each mile. A group of friends has $22.00

xeze [42]

For this case we have to:

x: Let the variable representing the number of people to travel in the group

y: Let the variable representing the number of miles traveled.

If friends only have $22 then we have the following inequality:

$2.50x + 0.75y \leq22$

Now, if there are three people in the group we have that $x = 3.$

$2.50 (3) + 0.75y \leq22\\7.5 + 0.75y \leq22\\0.75y \leq22-7.5\\0.75y \leq14.5\\y\leq \frac {14.5} {0.75}\\y\leq19.33$

The taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles.

On the other hand, if the group wants to travel 10 miles then we have to y = 10.

$2.50x + 0.75 (10) \leq22\\2.50x + 7.5 \leq22\\2.50x \leq22-7.5\\2.50x \leq14.5\\x\leq \frac {14.5} {2.50}\\x \leq5.8$

Thus, they could travel a maximum of 5 people.

ANswer:

$2.50x + 0.75y \leq22$

Traveling 3 people, the taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles

Traveling 10 miles, a maximum of 5 people can travel

What does the fundamental theorem of algebra illustrate?

UNO [17]

Answer:

The fundamental theorem of algebra guarantees that a polynomial equation has the same number of complex roots as its degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fundamental theorem of algebra guarantees that a polynomial equation has the same number of complex roots as its degree.

We have to find the roots of this given equation.

If a quadratic equation is of the form $ax^{2}+bx +c=0$

Its roots are $\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$ and $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

Here the given equation is $2x^{2}-4x-1$ = 0

a = 2

b = -4

c = -1

If the roots are $x_{1} and x_{2}$ , then

$x_{1}$ = $\frac{-2+\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4\times 2\times (-1)}}{2\times 2}$

= $\frac{4 +\sqrt{24}}{4}$

= $\frac{2+\sqrt{6} }{2}$

$x_{2}$ = $\frac{-2-\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4\times 2\times (-1)}}{2\times 2}$

= $\frac{4 +\sqrt{8}}{4}$

= $\frac{2-\sqrt{6} }{2}$

These are the two roots of the equation.
