Here if this helps your welcome if not I’m sorry

So start with

2x2+3x-5=0

2x2=4

4+3x-5=0

Subtract 4 from both sides

4+3x-5=0
-4. -4

The 4 cancels out

3x-5= -4

Now add 5 to each side and the 5 will cancel

3x-5=-4
+5. +5

3x=1

Divide 3 from both sides the 3 cancels

3x=1

3/3x= 1/3

So your answer is:
x=1/3

What is the solution of this system of linear equations? 3y = x + 6 y – x = 3

Fofino [41]

First isolate y by adding x to both sides in y-x=3 and getting y=x+3
Step 1: substitute x+3 for y in 3y=x+6 to get 3(x+3)=x+6
Step 2: distribute 3x+9=x+6
Step 3: subtract like terms 2x=-3
Step 4: divide x=-3/2

substitute -3/2 for x in y=x+3 to get
y=-3/2+3
y=3/2

answer: y=3/2 x=-3/2

A toy rocket is launched from a platform 24ft above the ground. The

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

4 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = 0 which is the height when the rocket hits the ground

-3t^2 + 6t + 24 = 0

-3(t^2 - 2t - 8) = 0

-3(t - 4)(t + 2) = 0

t = 4 or t = -2

time cannot be negative, so t = 4 sec

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is: $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$ . In this case, for the numerator you get 30. For the denominator you get 5. Divide 30/5 to get 6 as your final slope.
