(x - 2)(x + 3) = x2 + 3x - 2x -6 = x2 + x - 6
Let this number be x, then 2x + 2 = x 2x - x + 2 - 2 = x - x - 2 x = -2 Thus this number is -2. Check: 2(-2) + 2 = -2? -4 + 2 = -2 ? -2 = -2 True
(x + 4)2
2x-3=x+2 answer x=5
x/2 + 5
(x+9)^2 =x^2 + 9 X^2 + 18x + 81 = X^2 +9 18X + 72 = 0 18X = -72 X =- 4
two more than the total of a number and five = (x + 5) +2Let x = a numbertotal of a number and five = x + 5two more than = +2thus,two more than the total of a number and five = (x + 5) +2
If you're allowed to repeat factors, 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16. If not, no number less than 100 has more than 3 distinct prime factors.
5-2+52=x x=55
(x - 2)(x + 3) = x2 + 3x - 2x -6 = x2 + x - 6
Let the number be x 4x - 2 < 3x 4x - 3x < 2 x < 2 (x must be less than 2 for that to be possible)
If the number is represented by X, then '4 more than a number' is represented by (X+4).
2 x n(squared) + 2
Let this number be x, then 2x + 2 = x 2x - x + 2 - 2 = x - x - 2 x = -2 Thus this number is -2. Check: 2(-2) + 2 = -2? -4 + 2 = -2 ? -2 = -2 True
Neither...When you say 'x > 2', you are saying that x is any number greater than 2. It is more of a statement rather than a sum.
(x + 4)2
2x-3=x+2 answer x=5
