We have the following equation:
2 (x-3) ^ 2 + 10 = 82
We must clear x.
We pass the constant terms to one side of the equation:
2 (x-3) ^ 2 = 82 - 10
2 (x-3) ^ 2 = 72
(x-3) ^ 2 = 72/2
(x-3) ^ 2 = 36
Square root to both members:
x-3 = +/- root (36)
x-3 = +/- 6
The solutions are:
x1 = 6 + 3 = 9
x2 = -6 + 3 = -3
Answer:
x1 = 9
x2 = -3
You find the lowest common denominator of both fractions, which in this case is 24.
1/6 is equivalent to 4/24 and 1/8 is equivalent to 3/24.
4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24
Negative 6 plus positive 3 equals negative three.
