(2x+1)=Jeremy´s age
(2x+3)=Sam´s age.
we suggest this equation:
(2x+1)(2x+3)=783
4x²+6x+2x+3=783
4x²+8x-780=0
x²+2x-195=0

We solve this quadratic equation:
x=[-2⁺₋√(4-4*1*(-195))]/2=(-2⁺₋28)/2

x₁=(-2-28)/2=-15 this solution is not valid.
x₂=(-2+28)/2=13

Jeremy´s age=2x+1=2*13+1=27
Sam´s age=2x+3=2*13+3=29

Solve the equation 5x-2x^2+1
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you call "5x-2x^2+1" an "equation," then you must equate 5x-2x^2+1 to 0:

5x-2x^2+1 = 0

This is a quadratic equation.  Rearranging the terms in descending order by powers of x, we get:

-2x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0.  Here the coefficients are a = -2, b = 5 and c = 1.

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

First find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac:  25 - 4(-2)(1) = 25 + 8 = 33

Because the discriminant is positive, the roots of this quadratic are real and unequal.

                                                             -b ± √(discriminant)

Applying the quadratic formula   x = --------------------------------

                                                                         2a

we get:

      -5 ± √33           -5 + √33

x = ----------------- = --------------------- and

           2(-2)                     -4

                                  -5 - √33

                                 ---------------

                                         -4

Tyrone wrote an equivalent expression for 28 + x - 2n + 7 - n - 5x + 4. His equivalent expression was -3n - 5x + 39 + x. What er
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression:

28 + x - 2n + 7 - n - 5x + 4

We have to find its equivalent expression

On combining the like terms of the above expression

28+4+7+x-5x-2n-n

= 39-4x-3n

= -3n-4x+39

According to Tyrone the equivalent expression was:

-3n - 5x + 39 + x

The error Tyrone made was:

A. Tyrone neglected to combine the x terms
