(-4)^2-4(1)(5)
16-4(1)(5)
16-4(5)
16-20
-4
The discriminant is negative so there are no real number solutions.
Answer:
which agrees with answer B
Step-by-step explanation:
First write the equation that represents this type of variation:

then we need to solve for "x" when y = 10 as shown below:

X = the number of months the tire was used
y = the thickness of the tire tread
y = -(3/7)x + 20
Substitute x for 20 (the number of months the tire was used) and solve for y.
The next question: Substitute x for 49 (the number of months the tire was used) and solve for y.
3(4x+3) = 12x + 9
A= 3(4x+1)
B= 9 + 12x
C= 7x + 6
D= 12x + 9
E= 12x + 9
Answer: D, E
