Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes 2x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                              x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                              x = [ -7 ± √(7^2 - 4(2)(-6)) ] / ( 2(2) )
                              x = [ -7 ± √(49 - (-48) ) ] / ( 4 )
                              x = [ -7 ± √(97) ] / ( 4)
                              x = [ -7 ± sqrt(97) ] / ( 4 )
                              x = -7/4 ± sqrt(97)/4
The answers are -7/4 + sqrt(97)/4 and -7/4 - sqrt(97)/4.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

1. C) .4

2. B) 2 1/4

3. D) 3 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The question is asking what fraction (represented in decimal form) did Maria spend. To find this, divide 18/45 because Maria spent $18 of her $45. When you complete this calculation, you get .4

2. When you look at where the line ends, it's at the first quarter line after the 2, meaning that the line is 2 and one quarter or 2 1/4

3. 8 times 3 is 24, which is the closest multiple of 8 to 29. However, since there is still 5 left over (which still needs to be divided by 8) it would be represented by the mxed fraction.

Graph the solution set of: 2x - 4 ≤ 8 and x + 5 ≥ 7​
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x ≤ 6 and x ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For now, we will start with doing each problem at a time. Here is your equation:

2x - 4 ≤ 8

First, you want to get the variable by itself. So, you add 4 to both sides. It will look like this:

2x - 4 ≤ 8

+ 4 + 4

The four being added on the left side cancels out, and you add 4 to 8. Now, it should look like this:

2x ≤ 12

Next, you want the x by itself. So, you would divide both sides by 2.

2x ≤ 12

/2 /2

2 divided by 2 cancels out, and 12 divided by 2 equals 6. Now, you have a final answer of:

x ≤ 6

But, you now have to do the other one!

Here is what you start off with:

x + 5 ≥ 7

First, you want the variable side by itself. So, you subtract 5 from both sides.

x + 5 ≥ 7

- 5 -5

Now, you have this:

x ≥ 2

Because the variable is already by itself, you don't need to do any more division and this is you final answer. Now put both answers you got together which equals:

x ≤ 6 and x ≥ 2
