All parabolas must have two, but they can either have 2 real solutions, 1 real solutions, or none. A real solution is where it crosses the x axis. If it touches the axis, it is a double zero, there is 1 real solution, and it is the same number. 2 solutions will have it cross the x axis twice, and no solutions means that the root is an imaginary number
To solve an equation for x we will try to isolate x. Hence, first step is to use the distributive property. Therefore,
4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)
4x + 29 = 5 - 8x - 48
4x + 29 = - 43 -8x Combine the like terms.
4x + 29 + 8x = -43 Add 8x to each sides of the equation.
12x + 29 = -43
12x = -43 - 29 Subtract 29 from each sides.
12x = -72
So, x =- 6
Answer:
5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
48 ÷ 8 = 6
This means the scale factor to get from triangle TSR to triangle PSQ is 6, so...
30 ÷ TR = 6
TR = 5
