Answer:

X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

X + (2 and 1/2) - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4

X + 2 and 2/4  - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4  <--- common denominator

X + 10/4 - 3/4 = 21/4

X + 7/4 = 21/4

X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2

Curtis plays a trivia game he earns 2 points for each correct answer and loses 0.25 points for each incorrect answer he get 21 c
Maslowich

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

Curtis is playing a trivia game.

Number of points earned for each correct answer = 2

Number of points lost for each correct answer = 0.25

Given that:

Number of correct answers given by Curtis = 21

Number of wrong answers given by Curtis = 4

To find:

Total score of the game by Curtis?

Solution:

First of all, let us find the points earned by correct answers.

Points earned by correct answers = Number of correct answers multiplied by Points earned on one correct answer.

Points earned by correct answers = 21 \times 2 = 42

Now, let us find the points to be lost by wrong answers.

Points lost by wrong answers = Number of wrong answers multiplied by Points lost on one correct answer.

Points lost by wrong answers = 4 \times 0.25 = 1

The score of the game can be calculated by subtracting the points lost from the points earned.

Score = 42 - 1 = <em>41</em>

A quadratic equation has a
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2 \ real \ solutions }}

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is:

{x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}}

The discriminant of a quadratic is just the expression under the square root, or b^2-4ac. This can tell us the number of solutions a quadratic has.

If the discriminant is:

  • Positive = 2 real solutions
  • Equal to Zero = 1 real double/repeated solution
  • Negative = 0 real solutions, but 2 imaginary solutions

Our quadratic equation has a discriminant of 5, which is positive. Therefore, it has 2 real solutions.
