Algebra.Com's Answer #615284 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve for x: \n" ); document.write( "20x+5= 24x^2+6x \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 24x^2+6x from both sides: \n" ); document.write( "-24x^2+14x+5= 0 \n" ); document.write( "Factor the left side: \n" ); document.write( "-((4x+1)(6x-5))= 0 \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by -1: \n" ); document.write( "(4x+1)(6 x-5)= 0 \n" ); document.write( "Now we have: \n" ); document.write( "4x+1= 0 or 6x-5= 0 \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1 from both sides: \n" ); document.write( "4x= -1 or 6x-5= 0 \n" ); document.write( "On the first equation, divide both sides by 4. On the second equation, add 5 on both sides: \n" ); document.write( "x= -1/4 or 6x= 5 On the second equation, divide both sides by 6: \n" ); document.write( "x= -1/4 or x= 5/6 \n" ); document.write( "Try these numbers and see which one makes your equation an equality. Only one will work, that will be your answer. \n" ); document.write( "Re. graphing, if you don't have a graphing calculator and don't know how to graph using a spreadsheet like Excel maybe you can find a graphing calculator online. \n" ); document.write( " |
