Answer:
45 marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information provided, we can form the equation x/5 - 2 = 7
Step 1: Add two on both sides of the equation x/5 - 2 = 7
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 5, to cancel out x. x/5=9
Step 3: Lastly, you get that x=45 marbles
4x - 3(x - 2) - x
4x - 3x + 6 - x
4x - 4x + 6
6....u r correct because ur x's cancel out
The standard form of a quadratic equation is ,
ax² + bx + c = 0.
And the formula to find the discriminant is b² - 4ac.
Here the first step is to change the given equation into standard form. So, add 1 to each sides of the equation. Therefore,
2x² – 9x + 2+1 = –1 + 1
2x² – 9x + 3 = 0
Next step is to compare the given equation with this equation to get the value of a, b and c.
After comparing the equations we will get a = 2, b = -9 and c = 3.
So, discriminant = b²- 4ac
=( -9)²-4 (2)(3)
= 81 - 24
= 57
So, discriminant of the given equation is 57.
57 is greater than 0 and square root of 57 will result real number.
So, the correct choice is C: The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots.
