Answer:

x= -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose ,

The number is x

now,

twice a number = 2 . x = 2x

The product of twice a number and six = 2x . 6 = 12x

[ "product" means the result of multiplication]

Then,

Eleven times the number = 11 . x = 11x

The difference of eleven times the number and 1/4 = 11x - 1/4

= (44x-1)/4

Hence,

12x = (44x-1)/4

=>48x = 44x-1 [multiplied by 4 on both sides]

=>48x-44x=-1 [subtract 44x on both sides]

=>4x=-1 [divide both sides by 4]

=>x= -1/4

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): -2x^2 + 5x + 2 = -3

Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                              x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                              x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                              x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
                              x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..
