Set each expression from the parentheses equal to 0 separately like so:
Equation 1: x - 4 = 0
Equation 2: -5x + 1 = 0
Now for each equation solve for x!
Equation 1:
x +(- 4 + 4) = 0 + 4
x = 4
Equation 2:
-5x +( 1-1) = 0 - 1
-5x/ -5 = -1 / -5
x = 1/5
Check:
(4 - 4)(-5*4 + 1)
(0) (-20 + 1)
(0) (-19)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
(1/5 - 4)(-5 * 1/5 + 1)
(-19/5)(-1 + 1)
(-19/5)(0)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
smaller x = 1/5
larger x = 4
Hope this helped!
Answer: x^(2)-3x-28=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 apples and 5 bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 11
x = 11 - y
1.75x + 0.70y = 14
1.75(11 - y) + 0.7y = 14
19.25 - 1.75y + 0.7y = 14
5.25 = 1.05y
y = 5
x = 11 - 5 = 6
