184/525
(this is me adding characters)
a = 4, b = -21, c = -18
to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...
b<sup>2</sup> - 4ac = (-21)<sup>2</sup> - 4(4)(-18) = 729
sqrt(729) = 27
x = (21 +/- 27)/8
x = -3/4, x = 6
since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...
4x<sup>2</sup> - 21x - 18 = 0
(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0
x = -3/4, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
= -4 + 12 + (-9)
= -4 + 12 - 9
= -4 + 3
= -1
156 minutes.
To find this, remember that an hour has sixty minutes. With this information, it is also given that there are two hours, thus meaning that we have to multiply sixty by two. This will give you 120. Next, you need to figure out the 3/5's portion of an hour. To find 1/5 of an hour, simply divide sixty by five. With that, you get the answer of 12. But because it says 3/5, you need to multiply 12 by 3, giving you 36. Finally, you add 36 to 120 to get the final answer of 156.
Hope this helps!
