Solve the literal equation for x
p = 4x + qx - 5

The value of the equation is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

We need to solve the provided equation for x.

Subtract 5 from both side.  

Take x common as shown:

Divide both sides by 4+q.

Hence, the value of the equation is .

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
