How to solve -2p^2=16p+24

frozen [14]

Add 2p² to each side of the equation. Then you have

2p² + 16p + 24 = 0 .

Before you roll up your sleeves and start working on it, you can make it
even more convenient if you divide each side by 2 . Then you have:

p² + 8p + 12 = 0 .

Now you have a nice, comfortable, familiar-looking quadratic equation.
You can either factor the left side into (p + 6) (p + 2), or, if you can't find
the factors, you can apply the quadratic formula to it.

That's how to solve it, and find its two solutions.

How to find variables of these #2 & #3

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

So... hmmm if you check the first picture below, for 2)

we could use the proportions of those small, medium and large similar triangles like $\bf \cfrac{small}{large}\qquad \cfrac{x}{12}=\cfrac{6}{x}\impliedby \textit{solve for "x"}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{small}{large}\qquad \cfrac{z}{18}=\cfrac{6}{z}\impliedby \textit{solve for "z"}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{large}{medium}\qquad \cfrac{y}{12}=\cfrac{18}{y}\impliedby \textit{solve for "y"}$

now.. for 3) will be the second picture below

$\bf \cfrac{large}{medium}\qquad \cfrac{x+10}{2\sqrt{30}}=\cfrac{2\sqrt{30}}{10}\impliedby \textit{solve for "x"}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, because you already know what "x" is, we can use it below}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{large}{small}\qquad \cfrac{z}{x}=\cfrac{x+10}{z}\impliedby \textit{solve for "z"}
\\\\\\
\textit{and let us use "x" again below}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{small}{medium}\qquad \cfrac{y}{10}=\cfrac{x}{y}\impliedby \textit{solve for "y"}$
