Step-by-step explanation:

200-(3x)=50

How do I solve x(3x-17)=0 using the square root property

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

x = 0 or $x = \frac{17}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the quadratic equation of variable x and we have to solve the equation using the square root property.

Now, we have x(3x - 17) = 0

⇒ 3x² - 17x = 0

⇒ $3(x^{2} - \frac{17}{3}x ) = 0$

⇒ $x^{2} - 2 \times (\frac{17}{6}) \times x + (\frac{17}{6} )^{2} = (\frac{17}{6} )^{2}$

⇒ $(x - \frac{17}{6})^{2} = (\frac{17}{6} )^{2}$

Now,square rooting both sides we get,

$x - \frac{17}{6} = \pm\frac{17}{6}$

Therefore, either x = 0 or $x = \frac{17}{3}$ (Answer)

2 times means 2 * X

= 2X

y < 2X - 1

y = 2X - 1

10. Which equation could be used to solve the problem? Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in one hour. At that rate, how many bushe

Ratling [72]

The answer would be B. b = 8 * 4. If Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in an hour and the question wants to know how many bushels could be picked in 8 hours, its basically asking how many bushels are in 8 groups of 4.
