Answer: b=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
120/-10 = -12
-10b/-10 = b
b=-12
Answer:
x= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+4=6x+20
so 2x-6x=20-4
divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4 = 16/4
=-4
6x^2 - 8 = 4x^2 + 7x
6x^2 - 4x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0
2x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; where a = 2, b = -7 and c = -8
d = (-7)^2 - 4(2)(-8)
d = 49 + 64
d = 113
the discriminant is greater than zero, so there are two real roots
