Answer:
x = 3.556 or [tex]\frac{32}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:
(3*x-5)^2-((x+x+25))=0
Evaluate:
[tex](3x-5)^{2}[/tex] = [tex]9x^{2} -30x+25[/tex]
Pull like factors:
9x^2 - 32x = x • (9x - 32)
x • (9x - 32) = 0
Remember roots of a product:
A product of several terms equals zero. When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. We shall now solve each term = 0 separately. In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product. Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solve : 9x - 32 = 0
Add 32 to both sides of the equation :
9x = 32
Divide both sides of the equation by 9:
x = 32/9 = 3.556
