Hey there, hope I can help!

\mathrm{Subtract\:}x^2+5x+39\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}
2x^2+3x-7-\left(x^2+5x+39\right)=x^2+5x+39-\left(x^2+5x+39\right)

Assuming you know how to simplify this, I will not show the steps but can add them later on upon request
x^2-2x-46=0

Lets use the quadratic formula now
\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}
x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:} a=1,\:b=-2,\:c=-46: x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-2\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

\frac{-\left(-2\right)+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1} \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \  \frac{2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

Multiply the numbers 2 * 1 = 2
\frac{2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-\left(-46\right)\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2}

2+\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)} \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}

\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2+1\cdot \:4\cdot \:46} \ \textgreater \  \left(-2\right)^2=2^2, 2^2 = 4

\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:1\cdot \:46=184 \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{4+184} \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{188} \ \textgreater \  2 + \sqrt{188}
\frac{2+\sqrt{188}}{2} \ \textgreater \  Prime\;factorize\;188 \ \textgreater \  2^2\cdot \:47 \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{2^2\cdot \:47}

\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}: \sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\sqrt[n]{b} \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{47}\sqrt{2^2}

\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}: \sqrt[n]{a^n}=a \ \textgreater \  \sqrt{2^2}=2 \ \textgreater \  2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \  \frac{2+2\sqrt{47}}{2}

Factor\;2+2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \  Rewrite\;as\;1\cdot \:2+2\sqrt{47}
\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}2 \ \textgreater \  2\left(1+\sqrt{47}\right) \ \textgreater \  \frac{2\left(1+\sqrt{47}\right)}{2}

\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{2}{2}=1 \ \textgreater \  1+\sqrt{47}

Moving on, I will do the second part excluding the extra details that I had shown previously as from the first portion of the quadratic you can easily see what to do for the second part.

\frac{-\left(-2\right)-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1} \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a \ \textgreater \  \frac{2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

\frac{2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-\left(-46\right)\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2}

2-\sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-46\right)} \ \textgreater \  2-\sqrt{188} \ \textgreater \  \frac{2-\sqrt{188}}{2}

\sqrt{188} = 2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \  \frac{2-2\sqrt{47}}{2}

2-2\sqrt{47} \ \textgreater \  2\left(1-\sqrt{47}\right) \ \textgreater \  \frac{2\left(1-\sqrt{47}\right)}{2} \ \textgreater \  1-\sqrt{47}

Therefore our final solutions are
x=1+\sqrt{47},\:x=1-\sqrt{47}

Hope this helps!

A coin weighs 5/6 ounces. Ann picked up 3 of these coins.
JulsSmile [24]
How I’d do it:
5/6 three times makes 15/6. Made into a mixed fraction is 2 3/6, which in its simplest form is 2 1/2.
When converted to ounces, assuming that 6/6 is one complete ounce, then you get 2.5 ounces.
The total weight she picked up is 2.5 ounces.

Anyone know how to simplify a whole number into a mixed number or a improper fraction???
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Example any whole number over one would be an improper fraction, so 2=2/1, something like 5/3=1 2/3 would be a mixed number, subtract the numerator by the denominator, how ever many times you can subtract is the whole number and the amount remaining is the numerator, keep the same denominator,,, hope that makes sense
