8p² - 16p = 10
8p² - 16p - 10 = 0 Divide through by 2
4p² - 8p - 5 = 0
Multiply first and last coefficients: 4*-5 = -20
We look for two numbers that multiply to give -20, and add to give -8
Those two numbers are 2 and -10.
Check: 2*-10 = -20 2 + -10 = -8
We replace the middle term of -8p in the quadratic expression with 2p -10p
4p² - 8p - 5 = 0
4p² + 2p - 10p - 5 = 0
2p(2p + 1) - 5(2p + 1) = 0
(2p + 1)(2p - 5) = 0
2p + 1 = 0 or 2p + 5 = 0
2p = 0 -1 2p = 0 - 5
2p = -1 2p = -5
p = -1/2 p = -5/2
The solutions are p = -1/2 or -5/2
The coefficient 'a' for the quadratic term is a = 3
The coefficient 'b' for the linear term is b = -2
The coefficient 'c' is 0
Step-by-step explanation :
The given expression is,
To solve this problem we are using quadratic formula.
The general quadratic equation is,
Formula used :
Now we a have to solve the above equation and we get the value of 'x'.
a = 3, b = -2, c = 0
The coefficient 'a' for the quadratic term is a = 3
The coefficient 'b' for the linear term is b = -2
The coefficient 'c' is 0
Answer:
A and C
Step-by-step explanation:
As you know 30/45 = 6/9
So a = 9 makes the equation true
Its asking how much did they both spent, in total, in order to reach the same amount spent in part A
