Answer:
x = 2/3 or x = -1
Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:
Solve for x:
3 x^2 + x - 2 = 0
Divide both sides by 3:
x^2 + x/3 - 2/3 = 0
Add 2/3 to both sides:
x^2 + x/3 = 2/3
Add 1/36 to both sides:
x^2 + x/3 + 1/36 = 25/36
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 1/6)^2 = 25/36
Take the square root of both sides:
x + 1/6 = 5/6 or x + 1/6 = -5/6
Subtract 1/6 from both sides:
x = 2/3 or x + 1/6 = -5/6
Subtract 1/6 from both sides:
Answer: x = 2/3 or x = -1

Answer:
To find the average rate of change, we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.
If he hands out pencils will be 45/80 =
If he hands out markers will be 35/80
1) 2x + 3y = 12 -> 3y = -2x +12 -> y = -2/3x + 4
2) 4y - 7x = 16 -> 4y = 7x + 16 -> y = 7/4x + 4
Addd 4 to both sides
sqare both sides
x+9=25
minus 9 both sides
x=16
plug it in for x and see
1=1
true
not extraneous
an extraneous root would be x=-34
I think the answer would be d(greater than or equal to) -28
