Solve for x:(5 (x - 1/3))/(8) = 5/12
Put each term in x - 1/3 over the common denominator 3: x - 1/3 = (3 x)/3 - 1/3:(5 (3 x)/3 - 1/3)/(8) = 5/12
(3 x)/3 - 1/3 = (3 x - 1)/3:(5 (3 x - 1)/3)/(8) = 5/12
3×8 = 24:(5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12
Multiply both sides of (5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12 by 24/5:(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = (24×5)/(5×12):(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (5×24)/(5×24)×(3 x - 1) = 3 x - 1:3 x - 1 = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = 5/5×24/12 = 24/12:3 x - 1 = 24/12
The gcd of 24 and 12 is 12, so 24/12 = (12×2)/(12×1) = 12/12×2 = 2:3 x - 1 = 2
Add 1 to both sides:3 x + (1 - 1) = 1 + 2
1 - 1 = 0:3 x = 2 + 1
2 + 1 = 3:3 x = 3
Divide both sides of 3 x = 3 by 3:(3 x)/3 = 3/3
3/3 = 1:x = 3/3
3/3 = 1:Answer: x = 1
Hi!
What you'll first need to do is subtract 4 from 4 and 13. After doing so, your equation will look like this...
-3x=9
Next, you'll need to divide -3x and 9 by -3. After you've done that, you'll get...
x=-3.
So your answer would be x=-3
I hope this helps!

Answer:
The input value is 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The input value that produces the same output value for the two linear functions, is the intersection point both graphs
we have
---> equation A
---> equation B
Equate equation A and equation B
solve for x
therefore
The input value is 3/4
Answer:
x = - 1 ± 2i
Step-by-step explanation:
we can use the discriminant b² - 4ac to determine the nature of the roots
• If b² - 4ac > , roots are real and distinct
• If b² - 4ac = 0, roots are real and equal
• If b² - ac < 0, roots are not real
for x² + 2x + 5 = 0
with a = 1, b = 2 and c = 5, then
b² - 4ac = 2² - (4 × 1 × 5 ) = 4 - 20 = - 16
since b² - 4ac < 0 there are 2 complex roots
using the quadratic formula to calculate the roots
x = ( - 2 ± 
) / 2
= (- 2 ± 4i ) / 2 = - 1 ± 2i
