Option 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
42 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 = 0
or
42 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 = 0
For this, we use simultaneous equations. Let George's page be g, Charlie's be c and Bill's page be b.
First, <span>George's page contains twice as many type words as Bill's.
Thus, g = 2b.
</span><span>Second, Bill's page contains 50 fewer words than Charlie's page.
Thus, b = c - 50.
</span>If each person can type 60 words per minute, after one minute (i.e. when 60 more words have been typed) <span>the difference between twice the number of words on bills page and the number of words on Charlie's page is 210.
We can express that as 2b - c = 210.
Now we need to find b, since it represents Bill's page.
We can substitute b for (c - 50) since b = c - 50, into the equation 2b - c = 210. This makes it 2(c - 50) - c = 210.
We can expand this to 2c - 100 - c = 210.
We can simplify this to c - 100 = 210.
Add 100 to both sides.
c - 100 + 100 = 210 + 100
Then simplify: c = 210 + 100 = 310.
Now that we know c, we can use the first equation to find b.
b = c - 50 = 310 - 50 = 260.
260 is your answer. I don't know where George comes into it. Maybe it's a red herring!</span>
Answer:
When we have a quadratic equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
There is something called the determinant, and this is:
D = b^2 - 4*a*c
If D < 0, then the we will have complex solutions.
In our case, we have
5*x^2 - 10*x + c = 0
Then the determinant is:
D = (-10)^2 - 4*5*c = 100 - 4*5*c
And we want this to be smaller than zero, then let's find the value of c such that the determinant is exactly zero:
D = 0 = 100 - 4*5*c
4*5*c = 100
20*c = 100
c = 100/20 = 5
As c is multiplicating the negative term in the equation, if c increases, then we will have that D < 0.
This means that c must be larger than 5 if we want to have complex solutions,
c > 5.
I can not represent this in your number line, but this would be represented with a white dot in the five, that extends infinitely to the right, something like the image below:
