Let m = 6x + 5.

Which equation is equivalent to (6x + 5)2 - 10 = -182 – 15 in terms of m?

Choose 1 answer:

(A) m² – 3m + 5 = 0

m2 - 3m + 5 = 0

+3m - 10 = 0

Respuesta :

We have been given that [tex]m=6x+5[/tex]. We are asked to write [tex](6x + 5)^2-10 =-18x-15[/tex] in terms of m.

First of all, we will factor [tex]-3[/tex] from right side of equation as:

[tex](6x + 5)^2-10 =-3\cdot 6x-3\cdot 5[/tex]

[tex](6x + 5)^2-10 =-3( 6x+5)[/tex]

Now we will substitute [tex]m=6x+5[/tex] in our equation as:

[tex](m)^2-10 =-3(m)[/tex]

[tex]m^2-10 =-3m[/tex]

Upon adding [tex]3m[/tex] on both sides, we will get:

[tex]m^2+3m-10 =-3m+3m[/tex]

[tex]m^2+3m-10 =0[/tex]

Therefore, the equation [tex]m^2+3m-10 =0[/tex] is equivalent to [tex](6x + 5)^2-10 =-18x-15[/tex] in terms of m.
