Assuming that we are solving in terms of n.
Start by distributing:
2(n + 5)
(2*n) + (5*2)
2n + 10 = -2
Subtract 10 to start toward isolating your variable:
2n = -12
Divide by two to finish solving:
n = -6
Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x =
Because is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
There's no way to do that without seeing the drawing or hearing a lot more information. For one thing, we don't even know the size of the circle yet.
Answer:
x= -1/2 and x=2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the 7x as a difference. It'll make it easier to factor out. An example of this would be 11x-4x
Therefore, the equation would look like this: 22x^2 + 11x-4x -2 =0
Look at it as if there are two equations: 22x^2+11x and -4x-2
Factor out the greatest common factor, which is 11 from the first equation. The equation will then look like this: 11x(2x+1)
Take the GCF for the second equation as well (which is -2). The equation should then also look like this: (2x+1)
Use the numbers on the outside of each of the parenthesis to form its own equation (to factor it out). This will be 11x-2
Now we have factored! Since the parenthesis equations are the same, we know that that is also part of the equation, so:
(11x-2)(2x+1)
Solve each equation for x by equaling them both to zero
