If it is asking if that equation is the quadratic formula, then the answer is false. The reason why is that the first 'b' should be negative
The quadratic formula is
It will take him 80 minutes, or an hour and 20 minutes
Answer:
The solution for y is y = 2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>Lets explain how to solve an equation for one of the variables</em>
- We need to solve the equation 16x + 9 = 9y - 2 x for y
- That means we want to find y in terms of x and the numerical term
- the equation has two sides, one side contains x and numerical term
and the other side contains y and x
- We need to separate y in one side, and other term in the other side
* <em>Lets do that</em>
∵ 16x + 9 = 9y - 2x
- Add 2x to both sides to cancel -2x from the right side
∴ 16x + 2x + 9 = 9y - 2x + 2x
- Add like terms in each side
∴ 18x + 9 = 9y
- Divide each term by the coefficient of y ⇒ (÷9)
∴ (18 ÷ 9)x + (9 ÷ 9) = (9 ÷ 9)y
∴ 2x + 1 = y
- Switch the two sides
∴ y = 2x + 1
* The solution for y is y = 2x + 1
