To find : the solution of the equation
Answer to Problem 61WE
The solution of the equation is
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Concept Involved:
Solve the equation by getting the variable in one side of the equation and undoing whatever is done to it by performing reverse operation. The solution to the equation is the value of x that makes the equation TRUE.
Formula Used:
Calculation:
Used the algebraic identity
Simplify on both sides of the equation
Distribute the negative and drop the parenthesis in both sides of the equation
Group like terms in left side of the equation
Combine like terms in left side of the equation
In the process of getting x alone in one side of the equation we need to subtract
Group and combine the like terms on both sides of the equation
Divide 4 on both sides of the equation
Simplify fraction on both sides of the equation
Check whether 6 substituted for x in original equation makes it TRUE.
Conclusion:
The solution to the given equation

- math 62arrow_forwardMake up two polynomial functions, f(x) and g(x). • f(x) should be of degree 3 or higher. g(x) should be of degree 4 or higher. • Find f(3) in each of the three ways: substitution, remainder theorem (synthetic division), and long division. You should get the same answer three times for f(3). Find g(-2) once using your choice of the three methods.arrow_forwardere are many real-world situations that exhibit exponential and logarithmic nctions. • Describe two real world scenarios, one exponential and one logarithmic. Do not identify yet whether your scenarios are logarithmic or exponential.arrow_forward
- stacie is a resident at a medical facility you work at. You are asked to chart the amount of solid food that she consumes.For the noon meal today, she ate 1/2 of a 3 ounce serving of meatloaf, 3/4 of her 3 ounce serving of mashed potatoes, and 1/3 of her 2 ounce serving of green beans. Show in decimal form how many ounces of solid food that Stacie consumedarrow_forwardI've been struggling with this because of how close the numbers are together!! I would really appreciate if someone could help me❤️arrow_forwardMatrix MЄ R4×4, as specified below, is an orthogonal matrix - thus, it fulfills MTM = I. M (ELES),- m2,1. We know also that all the six unknowns mr,c are non-negative with the exception of Your first task is to find the values of all the six unknowns. Think first, which of the mr,c you should find first. Next, consider a vector v = (-6, 0, 0, 8) T. What's the length of v, i.e., |v|? Using M as transformation matrix, map v onto w by w = Mv provide w with its numeric values. What's the length of w, especially when comparing it to the length of v? Finally, consider another vector p = ( 0, 0, 8, 6) T. What's the angle between v (from above) and p? Using M as transformation matrix, map p onto q by q = Mp - provide q with its numeric values. What's the angle between w and q, especially when comparing it to the angle between v and p?arrow_forward
