Step-by-step explanation:

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

4

Simplify —

5

Equation at the end of step 1 :

4

(— • m) - 28 = 0

5

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :

28 28 • 5

28 = —— = ——————

1 5

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

4m - (28 • 5) 4m - 140

————————————— = ————————

5 5

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

4m - 140 = 4 • (m - 35)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

4 • (m - 35)

———————————— = 0

5

Step 4 :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

4•(m-35)

———————— • 5 = 0 • 5

5

Now, on the left hand side, the 5 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

4 • (m-35) = 0

Equations which are never true :

4.2 Solve : 4 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.3 Solve : m-35 = 0

Add 35 to both sides of the equation :

m = 35

One solution was found :

m = 35

Can someone give me the answers to this or how to find the answers to it?
faltersainse [42]

the discriminant formula is b^2-4ac

so plug the values from each equation into the formula and solve, the result is the value of the discriminant

if the number is negative, there are no real roots/x-int

if it is 0 there is one real root/x-intercepts

if it is positive it has 2 real roots/x-int

and to find the actual solutions you have to plug the values into the quadratic formula
