Answer:

x = 3/2 or x = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

8 x^2 - 2 x - 15 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.

x = (2 ± sqrt((-2)^2 - 4×8 (-15)))/(2×8) = (2 ± sqrt(4 + 480))/16 = (2 ± sqrt(484))/16:

x = (2 + sqrt(484))/16 or x = (2 - sqrt(484))/16

Simplify radicals.

sqrt(484) = sqrt(4×121) = sqrt(2^2×11^2) = 2×11 = 22:

x = (2 + 22)/16 or x = (2 - 22)/16

Evaluate (2 + 22)/16.

(2 + 22)/16 = 24/16 = 3/2:

x = 3/2 or x = (2 - 22)/16

Evaluate (2 - 22)/16.

(2 - 22)/16 = -20/16 = -5/4:

Answer: x = 3/2 or x = -5/4

Solve the system by substitution.<br>3x-6y=2<br>4x+3y=-1​
crimeas [40]

Answer:

y = -1/3

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-6y = 2    then 3x = 2+6y,   x=(2+6y)/3

4x+3y = -1

substitute for x

4(2/3+2y)-6y = 2

8/3+8y-6y = 2

reduce

2y = 2-8/3

2y = -2/3

divide both sides by 2

y = -1/3

4x+3(-1/3) = -1

4x = 0

x = 0

Daquan and Juan are twins but their sister phillipa is 3 years older than them if the sum of their three ages is 36 how old are
sweet [91]

Step-by-step explanation:

Daquan's age = x

Juan's age = x

Phillipa's age = x + 3

x + x + x + 3 = 36

3x + 3 = 36

3x = 36 - 3

3x = 33

x = 33 ÷ 3

x = 11

the twins are 11 years old
