Solve the quadratic equation by factoring: 15x^2+4x-4=0

We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).

15*-4 = -60

Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.

-6 and 10 will work.

Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.

(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)

Now factor both terms.

5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)

3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.

(3x+2)(5x-2)=0

Now just find the zeros.

3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3

And

5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5

So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5

Solve for e.<br> 9e+4=-5e+14+13e9e+4=−5e+14+13e<br> e=
Kitty [74]

Answer:

e = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

9e+4=-5e+14+13e

Combine like terms

9e+4=14+8e

Subtract 8e from both sides

9e-8e+4=8e-8e +14

e +4 = 14

Subtract 4 from each side

e+4-4 = 14-4

e = 10

Adding/Subtracting rational expressions

 6/(x-1)-5x/4
subtracting the above we put the fraction under the same denominator:
 6/(x-1)-5x/4
multiplying the denominators we get:
4(x-1)
thus subtracting we get:
6/(x-1)-5x/4
=(4*6-5x(x-1))/[4(x-1)]
=[24-5x^2+5x]/(4x-4)
Answer:
(-5x^2+5x+24)/(4x-4)


9]
3/(x+7)+4/(x-8)
the common denominator is:
(x+7)*(x-8)=(x+7)(x-8)
thus adding the fractions we put them under the same denominator as follows:
[3(x-8)+4(x+7)]/[(x+7)(x-8)]
=[3x-24+4x+28]/[(x+7)(x-8)]
=(7x+4)/[(x+7)(x-8)]
