Answer:
2 ± i
Step-by-step explanation:
by 5, I assume you mean +5
x² - 4x + 5 = 0
x = (-b±(√(b²-4ac)) / 2a
x = (4 ± (√(16 - 20)) / 2
x = (4 ± (√(-4)) / 2
√-4 = √4√-1 which is 2i
x = (4 ± 2i) / 2
x = 2 ± i
40 tables, 4 tables per 12 minutes so 40/4*12 which would be 120 minutes.
Hope this helps!
Ok, so first off you need to remember that your goal is to get x alone.
How do you do this? Well, let's get rid of that pesky negative ten, shall we?
The opposite of a negative is positive, so you can move negative ten to the other side of the problem by adding ten. Make sure that you do operations on both sides. Once you add, you have 3x=18. When a number is right next door to an x, it means it is being multiplied. To get rid of the three, divide by three on both sides. Now your get x=6, which is your answer. Hopefully, I explained this well! :D

where

.
By continuity of

, you have

As

in the numerator, you approach

; in the denominator, you approach

. So you have an indeterminate form

. Provided the limit indeed exists, L'Hopital's rule can be used.

Now the numerator approaches

, while the denominator approaches

, suggesting the limit above is 2. This means
Answer:
1) x = 17, line a parallel to line b
2) x = 18, line a parallel to line b
Step-by-step explanation:
If line a parallel to line b then (10x - 40) + 50 = 180
Solve for x
10x - 40 + 50 = 180
Combine like terms
10x + 10 = 180
10x = 170
x = 17
x = 17, line a parallel to line b
-------------------------------------------------
If line a parallel to line b then 5x - 16 = 74
Solve for x
5x - 16 = 74
5x = 90
x = 18
x = 18, line a parallel to line b
