ANSWER

x = \frac{5}{4}   -  \frac{  \sqrt{ 17} }{4}

or

x = \frac{5}{4}  +  \frac{  \sqrt{ 17} }{4}

EXPLANATION

The given equation is:

2 {x}^{2} - 5x + 1= 0

Comparing this to

a {x}^{2}  + bx + c = 0

we have a=2, b=-5, c=1

The quadratic formula is given by

x =  \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

We substitute the values to get,

x =  \frac{ -  - 5 \pm \sqrt{ {( - 5)}^{2}  - 4(1)(2)} }{2(2)}

x =  \frac{ 5 \pm \sqrt{ 17} }{4}

x = \frac{5}{4}   -  \frac{  \sqrt{ 17} }{4}

or

x = \frac{5}{4}   +  \frac{  \sqrt{ 17} }{4}

HELP PRETTY PLEASE THIS IS URGENT NEED IN THE NEXT HOUR!!
zmey [24]

Answer:

(- 2, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

3x + 2y = 6 → (1)

\frac{2}{3} y - x = 6 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

2y - 3x = 18 ( add 3x to both sides )

2y = 18 + 3x → (2)

Substitute 2y = 18 + 3x into (1)

3x + 18 + 3x = 6

6x + 18 = 6 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

6x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = - 2

Substitute x = - 2 into (1) and solve for y

3(- 2) + 2y = 6

- 6 + 2y = 6 ( add 6 to both sides )

2y = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 6

solution is (- 2, 6 )
