Answer:

$x=0.75 \pm 2.47067i$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Formula: $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

√-1 is imaginary number i

Step 1: Define

y = -3x² + 4.5x - 20

a = -3

b = 4.5

c = -20

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

$x=\frac{-4.5 \pm \sqrt{4.5^2-4(-3)(-20)} }{2(-3)}$

$x=\frac{-4.5 \pm \sqrt{20.25-240} }{-6}$

$x=\frac{-4.5 \pm \sqrt{-219.75} }{-6}$

$x=\frac{-4.5 \pm \sqrt{219.75}(\sqrt{-1} ) }{-6}$

$x=\frac{-4.5 \pm i\sqrt{219.75} }{-6}$

$x=\frac{4.5 \pm i14.824 }{6}$

$x=0.75 \pm 2.47067i$

Three times a number plus 16

DochEvi [55]

To solve this, we simply need to break down the words and turn each part into an equation.

"Three times"
This shows that we will be multiplying 3 and something.
3*

"a number"
This shows that the number we will be multiplying 3 by is "n," which represents a number.
3*n or 3n

"plus 16"
This shows we will be adding 16 to the rest of the equation.
3n+16

Using the logic above, we can see that the equation to represent this is 3n+16.

Alright, lets get started.

Justin is asked to solve the linear equations using elimination method.

By using elimination method means we have to multiply some numbers in our given equations in such a way that the co-efficient of x or y become same in both equations so that we could add or subtract them to cancel one of the term either x or y.

So, given equations are :

$5x - 12 = 3$
