I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same.
Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>
Answer:
A quadratic equation can be written as:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0.
where a, b and c are real numbers.
The solutions of this equation can be found by the equation:
Where the determinant is D = b^2 - 4*a*c.
Now, if D>0
we have the square root of a positive number, which will be equal to a real number.
√D = R
then the solutions are:
Where each sign of R is a different solution for the equation.
If D< 0, we have the square root of a negative number, then we have a complex component:
√D = i*R
We have two complex solutions.
If D = 0
√0 = 0
then:
We have only one real solution (or two equal solutions, depending on how you see it)
Answer:3.1875
Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying
-3 + 8 + -8(7 + -2a) = 0
-3 + 8 + (7 * -8 + -2a * -8) = 0
-3 + 8 + (-56 + 16a) = 0
Combine like terms: -3 + 8 = 5
5 + -56 + 16a = 0
Combine like terms: 5 + -56 = -51
-51 + 16a = 0
Solving
-51 + 16a = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '51' to each side of the equation.
-51 + 51 + 16a = 0 + 51
Combine like terms: -51 + 51 = 0
0 + 16a = 0 + 51
16a = 0 + 51
Combine like terms: 0 + 51 = 51
16a = 51
Divide each side by '16'.
a = 3.1875
Simplifying
a = 3.1875
