Answer:

x = - \frac{1}{2}, x = \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - x - \frac{3}{4} = 0

Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction

4x² - 4x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 4 × - 3 = - 12 and sum = - 4

The factors are + 2 and - 6

Use these factors to split the x- term

4x² + 2x - 6x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

(2x + 1)(2x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = - \frac{1}{2}

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = \frac{3}{2}

A linear pair of<br> angles have<br> measures of 3m - 6<br> and 3m + 18. What<br> is the value of m?
timama [110]

Answer:

the value of m = 28°

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of adjacent angles which form linear pair is 180°

so,

=》3m - 6° + 3m + 18° = 180°

=》6m + 12° = 180°

=》6m = 180° - 12°

=》m = 168° ÷ 6

=》m = 28°

0.24 times 0.4<br> Equals
Komok [63]

That would be 0.24(0.4). First, estimate the result: 0.24 is about 1/4, and (1/4)(0.4) is about 0.1.

0.24(0.4) = 0.096 (which agrees with the estimated answer, 0.1).
