48 = 2(w+4) + 2w
48 = 4w+8
40 = 4w
w= 10 yd
A= 10 * 14
A = 140 yd

Which two values of X are roots of the polynomial below 4x^2-6x+1

PtichkaEL [24]

$4x^2-6x+1=0\\\\a=4,\ b=-6,\ c=1\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=(-6)^2-4(4)(1)=36-16=20\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{20}=\sqrt{4\cdot5}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt5=2\sqrt5\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a},\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-(-6)-2\sqrt5}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{3-\sqrt5}{4}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-(-6)+2\sqrt5}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{3+\sqrt5}{4}$

What vaule of x makes th question true? 3x+2(x-5)=50 a. 8 b.9 c.11 d.12

Ainat [17]

Hey Tierra7l,

Lets solve your equation together step by step.

$3x+2\left(x-5\right)=50$

$\mathrm{Expand}\:2\left(x-5\right):\quad 2x-10$

$\mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses\:using}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac$

$a=2,\:b=x,\:c=-5$

$2\cdot \:x+2\left(-5\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:minus-plus\:rules}$

$\:\:+\left(-a\right)=-a$

$2x-2\cdot \:5$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:5=10$

$2x-10$

$3x+2x-10=50$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:3x+2x=5x$

$5x-10=50$

$\mathrm{Add\:}10\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$5x-10+10=50+10$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$5x=60$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5$

$\dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{60}{5}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$x=12$

Hope this helps,
