Answer:
They live 285 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance be x miles
Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. This means that he drove x/5 in the first hour. In the second hour he travels 34 miles. That means
Total distance driven in the first and second hour is
(x/5 + 34)miles
He still has 194 miles more to go.
Therefore,
The total distance is the sum of the distance travelled in the first and second hour + the remaining distance.
x = x/5 + 34 + 194
x = x/5 + 228
Cross multiplying
5x = x + 1140
4x = 1140
x = 1140/4 = 285 miles
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic formula is:

The discriminant of a quadratic is just the expression under the square root, or
. This can tell us the number of solutions a quadratic has.
If the discriminant is:
- Positive = 2 real solutions
- Equal to Zero = 1 real double/repeated solution
- Negative = 0 real solutions, but 2 imaginary solutions
Our quadratic equation has a discriminant of 5, which is positive. Therefore, it has 2 real solutions.
Answer:
2) -5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
= 
cross-multiply to get:
10 = -14n
-10/14 = n
n = -5/7 (simplified)
