15x²+16x+4 =0      (ax² +bx +c=0)

Δ = b²-4ac =256 - 4×15×4 =16

x1 = (-b+√Δ) / 2a = (-16+√16) / 30 =( -16+4) / 30 = -12/30 = - 2/5
x2 = (-b -√Δ) / 2a = (-16 -√16) / 30 = (-16 -4) /30 = -20/30 = -2/3

      15x² + 16x = -4
15x² + 16x + 4 = -4 + 4
15x² + 16x + 4 = 0
x = <u>-(16) +/- √((16)² - 4(15)(4))</u>
                       2(15)
x = <u>-16 +/- √(256 - 240)</u>
                     30
x = <u>-16 +/- √(16)
</u>              30
x = <u>-16 +/- 4</u>
            30
x = <u>-8 +/- 2</u>
          15
x = <u>-8 + 2</u>  or  x = <u>-8 - 2</u>
         15                  15
x = <u>-6</u>             x = <u>-10</u>
      15                   15
x = ⁻²/₅            x = ⁻²/₃

the sum of the digits of a certain two-digits number is 7.Reversing its digits increases the number by 9.What is the number
rusak2 [61]
Unit digit=y
tens digit=x
the number: 10x+y

We suggest this system of equations:
x+y=7
(10y+x)=(10x+y)+9
we solve it by substitution method.
x=7-y
10y+(7-y)=(10(7-y)+y)+9
9y+7=70-10y+y+9
9y+10y-y=70+9-7
18y=72
y=72/18=4

x=7-y
x=7-4=3

number=10x+y=10*3+4=30+4=34

solution: the number: 34

To check:
3+4=7
43=34+9

the local state university has a ratio of 5 professors to every 86 students there are 9460 students at State University what is
Phoenix [80]
As a ratio, 5:86 represents students to teachers

We can set up the equation as 5/86=x/9460

Multiply 9460 to both sides

5x9460/86=x

47300/86=x

x=550

There are 550 professors

Square A has a side length (2x-7) and Square B has side length (-4x+18). How much bigger is the perimeter of Square B than Squar
mihalych1998 [28]
How much bigger is B than A , so Side length B- A = (-4x+18) - (2x-7) = -6x+25
So perimeter = 4x length = 4x(-6x+25) = -24x+100 = 100-24x 
How much bigger? 100-24X
