$3.5x=130+10x \ \ |\ subtract\ 10x\ to\ both\ sides \\\\3.5x-10x=130\\\\-6.5x=130\ \ | \ multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ (-10)\\\\65x=-1300\ \ | \ divide \ both \ sides\ by\ 65 \\\\x=-\frac{1300}{65}\\\\x=-20$

1) Determine the discriminant of the 2nd degree equation below:

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

$\LARGE{ \boxed{ \mathbb{ \color{purple}{SOLUTION:}}}}$

We have, Discriminant formula for finding roots:

$\large{ \boxed{ \rm{x = \frac{ - b \pm \: \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} }}}$

Here,

x is the root of the equation.
a is the coefficient of x^2
b is the coefficient of x
c is the constant term

1) Given,

3x^2 - 2x - 1

Finding the discriminant,

➝ D = b^2 - 4ac

➝ D = (-2)^2 - 4 × 3 × (-1)

➝ D = 4 - (-12)

➝ D = 4 + 12

➝ D = 16

2) Solving by using Bhaskar formula,

❒ p(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 5\pm \sqrt{( - 5) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 6 }} {2 \times 1}}}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 24} }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 5 \pm 1}{2} }}$

So here,

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = - 2 \: or - 3}}}$

❒ p(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 2 \pm \sqrt{ {2}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 1} }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 4} }{2} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 2 \pm 0}{2} }}$

So here,

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = - 1 \: or \: - 1}}}$

❒ p(x) = x^2 - x - 20 = 0

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - ( - 1) \pm \sqrt{( - 1) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 20) } }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 80} }{2} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{1 \pm 9}{2} }}$

So here,

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = 5 \: or \: - 4}}}$

❒ p(x) = x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - ( - 3) \pm \sqrt{( - 3) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 4) } }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 + 16} }{2 \times 1} }}$

$\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{3 \pm 5}{2} }}$

So here,

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = 4 \: or \: - 1}}}$

At a rock concert, the ratio of girls to boys is 3:7. If there are 360 more boys than girls, how many girls are at the concert?

bixtya [17]

You could understand the ration as parts: the total number of parts was 3+7=10.

So girls were 3/10 parts and boys 7/10 parts. The difference was 7-3=4 parts. this difference is equal to 360, so each part is 90 (4*90 =360).

so girls are "3 parts" and each part is 90, then the number of girls is 3*90=270.
