Whats the reason for 8x-5-2x=2x+1-2x

1 answer:

4 0

Your answer is X= -1
you have to move terms first to get this
8x-5=2x+1
then collect like terms and calculate sum
8x-2x=1+5
lastly you divide both sides by 6
X=1
HOPE THIS HELPS! :)

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation -2x^2 + 6x + 3 = 0?

mario62 [17]

For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is $x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{6^2-4*(-2)*3}}{2*(-2)}$

Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{36+24}}{-4}$

Next, do the addition: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$

Next, your equation will be split into two: $x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{60}}{-4},\frac{-6-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$ . Solve them separately, and your answer will be $x=-0.436,3.436$
