Question 11017: Can you please answer this problem. 5|6-5x|=5x-35
I guess this question centres on inequality, but since equality is used my
attempt is hereby made below;
5 is a common factor. therefore dividing by 5 the expression becomes
(6-5x) = x-7

let us assume 6-5x= -(x-7)
then 6-5x= 7-x
But if -1= 4x
then -1.25= x impossible!
THE QUESTION HAS STRUCTURAL ERROR!

Question 11389: Hello!
I have 4 questions...
1) Is there a formula for finding all possible divisors for a particular number? For example how do I find all possible divisors for 386?
2) How do I find out if a number is a prime number? Is there a particular formula for that?
3) How do I express a number as a product of prime numbers?
For example, express 585 as a product of prime numbers.
4) Why is 5 x the square root of 3 + the square root of 27= 8x the square root of 3? Why isnt the answer 13.86? How do I change 13.86 into 8 x the square root of 3?
