The equation would be 5x+2=9x-10
Subtract 5x from both sides
2=4x-10
Add 10 to both sides.
12=4x
Divide by 4 on both sides.
3=x
There are 3 chairs in each row

Solve equation by using the quadratic formula.
Sati [7]

Answer: 1:  x=3, x=1

2:  x= -5

3:  There are 2 real solutions.

4:  There are 2 real solutions.

5:  There are no real solutions.

6.  There is 1 real solution.

7.  

8.  x= -6, x = -2

9.  x = -1/6, x=1

10.  

Explanation:

1.  The quadratic formula is

Substituting our known information we have:

2.  Rewriting the quadratic in standard form we have x²+10x-25=0. Substituting this into the quadratic formula gives us:

3.  The discriminant is b²-4ac.  For this problem, that is 20²-4(-4)(25)=400--400=800.  Since this is greater than 0, there are 2 real solutions.

4.  The discriminant in this problem is 7²-4(2)(-15)=49--120=49+120=169.  This is greater than 0, so there are 2 real solutions.

5.  The discriminant in this problem is 1²-4(-2)(-28)=1-224=-223.  Since this is less than 0, there are no real solutions.

6.  If the discriminant of a quadratic is 0, then by definition there is 1 real solution.

7.  Rewriting the quadratic we have 3x²-4x-2=0.  Using the quadratic formula we have:

8.  Factoring this trinomial we want factors of 12 that sum to 8.  6*2 = 12 and 6+2=8, so those are our factors.  This gives us:

(x+6)(x+2)=0

Using the zero product property we know that either x+6=0 or x+2=0.  Solving these equations we get x= -6 or x= -2.

9.  Factoring this trinomial we want factors of 6(-1)=-6 that sum to -5.  (-6)(1)=-6 and -6+1=-5, so this is how we "split up" the x term:

6x²-6x+1x-1=0

We group together the first two and the last two terms:

(6x²-6x)+(1x-1)=0

Factor the GCF out of each group.  In the first group, that is 6x:

6x(x-1)+(1x-1)=0

In the second group, the GCF is 1:

6x(x-1)+1(x-1)=0

Both terms have a factor of (x-1), so we can factor it out:

(x-1)(6x+1)=0

Using the zero product property, we know either x-1=0 or 6x+1=0.  Solving these equations we get x=1 or x=-1/6.

10.  Substituting our information into the quadratic formula we get:

Plsss help no one answered the other times I put this question
svetlana [45]

Answer:

a) <em>The equation</em> (10s + 8w) <em>represents </em><em>the </em><em>calories </em><em>Bridget </em><em>ate </em><em>on </em><em>Monday </em><em>and </em><em>the </em><em>equation</em> (20s + w) <em>represents </em><em>the </em><em>calories</em><em> </em><em>she </em><em>ate</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>next </em><em>day.</em>

<em>b)</em><em> </em><em>The </em><em>number </em><em>of </em><em>calories</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>each </em><em>strawberry</em><em> </em><em>is </em>4 <em>and </em><em>the </em><em>number </em><em>of </em><em>calories </em><em>in </em><em>each </em><em>vanilla</em><em> </em><em>wafer</em><em> cookie</em><em> </em><em>is </em>19. The solution is s= 4 and w = 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A, Bridget ate 10 strawberries and 8 vanilla wafer cookies on Monday. Since the the number of calories in a strawberry is <em>s</em> and the number of calories in a vanilla wafer cookie is <em>w </em>, the number of calories Bridget ate on Monday is <em>10s + 8w</em><em>.</em><em> </em>The next day, Bridget ate 20 strawberries and 1 vanilla wafer cookie. Hence, the number of calories Bridget ate on the next day is 20s<em> + w</em>.

For part B,

we will create two different simultaneous equations.

Equation 1: 10s + 8w = 192

Equation 2: 20s + w = 99

We need to find one of the terms first to solve the other term. For this case, I will solve for w first.

Multiply the first equation by 2.

Equation 3: 20s + 16w = 192*2 = 384.

Now, subtract equation 2 from this new equation.

Equation 4:

(20s + 16w) - (20s + w) = 384 - 99

20s + 16w - 20s - w = 285

15w = 285

This leaves only w left and we can solve w.

w = 285 / 15 = 19

Now, we can solve for s using equation 2.

20s + 19 = 99

20s = 99-19 = 80

Hence,

s = 80/20 = 4
