Answer:

 Either  x= 1                                     or  x= -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

= 2X^2 + x - 1 =2

= 2x^2 + x -1 - 2 = 0

= 2x^2 + x -3 = 0

<em>now the above equation has become quadratic equation so we apply the quadratic formula which is:</em>

<em>x= (−b ± √ b^ 2 − 4ac )/2a</em>

here,

a=2, b=1 and c=-3

putting the values in the formula:

x= (−1 ± √ (1)^ 2 − 4(2)(-3) )/2(2)

x= (−1 ± √ (1) + 24) )/(4)

x= (−1 ± √ 25 )/(4)

x= (−1 ±  5  ) / (4)

now,

Either: x= (−1 + 5  ) / (4)              or: x= (−1 -  5  ) / (4)

          x= (4) /(4)                             x= (-6) / (4)

          x= 1                                      x= -3/2

Answer:Two solutions were found :

    x =(2-√20)/8=(1-√ 5 )/4= -0.309

    x =(2+√20)/8=(1+√ 5 )/4= 0.809

How old am i if 200 reduced by 2 times my age equals 16?
Anna [14]
Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x.  So the sentence translates into an equation...

200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16

200 - 2x = 16

Now let's solve for x to find "my age"

First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x

-2x = -184

Divide each side by -2 to isolate x

x = -184/-2
x = 92

I'm 92 years old!

What does it mean when the ratio of person 1’s income to person 2’s incomes is 1 to 3 or 3 to 1? Explain.
viktelen [127]

Answer with explanation:

3:1 means that person 1's income is three times person 2's income.

E.g.: if person 1 gets 150 per hour, person 2 gets 30 per hour.

1:3 means that person 1's income is one third of person 2's income.

E.g.: if person 1 gets 40 per hour, person 2 gets 120 per hour.

so
</span><span>Seven less than the product of a number and 10 is 50:</span>
10n - 7 = 50
----------------------------
if you need to find the number n then
10n - 7 = 50
10n = 57
    n = 57/10
