Hey there,

What are the possible values of x?

(4x - 5)² = 49

→ (4x)² - 2*4x*5 + 5² = 49

→ 16x² - 40x + 25 = 49

→ 16x² - 40x + 25 - 49 = 0

→ 16x² - 40x - 24 = 0

∆ = b² - 4ac

∆ = (-40)² - 4*16*(-24)

∆ = 1600 - 64*(-24)

∆ = 1600 - (-1536)

∆ = 1600 + 1536

∆ = 3136

∆ = 3136 > 0; There are two real solutions:

x1 = (-b - √∆)/2a = (40-56)/32 = -16/32 = -1/2

x2 = (-b + √∆)/2a = (40+56)/32 = 96/32 = 3

S={ -1/2 ; 3 }

✅✅;)

Hey there!

(4x - 5)^2 = 49

(4x - 5)(4x - 5) = 49

16x^2 - 40x + 25 = 49

SUBTRACT 49 to BOTH SIDES

16x^2 - 40x + 25 - 49 = 49 - 49

SIMPLIFY IT!

16x^2 - 40x - 24 = 0

[FACTOR the LEFT SIDE] of THE EQUATION

We get: 8(2x + 1)(x - 3) = 0

SET EACH FACTOR to EQUAL 0

We get: 2x + 1 = 0 OR x - 3 = 0

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = - 1/2

≈ x = -0.5

OR

x = 3

Therefore, your answer is: x = -1/2 & x = 3

(Choice B. & Choice C.)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

the answer would be the last one (constat) she stays at the same rat every two mintues it goes up by 0.4

step-by-step explanation:

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
