2. solve for x
3. solve for x

2. x = 47

3. x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

These problems involve proportions, or equivalent ratios.  You can solve for 'x' in each by using cross-multiplication and division.

2.  28(7) = 4(x + 2)

Distribute = 196 = 4x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides: 196 - 8 = 4x + 8 - 8 or 188 = 4x

Solve for x:  x = 47

3.  2(2x + 7) = 11(3x - 4)

Distribute: 4x + 14 = 33x - 44

Add 44 to both sides: 4x + 14 + 44 = 33x - 44 + 44 or 4x + 58 = 33x

Subtract 4x from both sides: 4x + 58 - 4x = 33x - 4x or 58 = 29x

Solve for x: x = 2

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
