Well to make it able to solve multiply 3/10 by 4 and 1/4 by 10 to get
12/40 - 10/40 = 2/40 which would be simplified to 1/20

At which points are the equations y = x2 + 5x − 2 and y = x + 1 equal?
klemol [59]

Answer:

When they are equal, y=y, so we can say:

x^2+5x-2=x+1  subtract x from both side

x^2+4x-2=1  add 2 to both sides

x^2+4x=3, now add half the linear coefficient squared, (4/2)^2=4

x^2+4x+4=3+4 now the left side is a perfect square

(x+2)^2=7  now take the square root of both sides

x+2=±√7  subtract 2 from both sides

x=-2±√7

x=-2+√7 and -2-√7

y=x+1 the two points where these equations are equal are:

(-2-√7, -1-√7) and (-2+√7, -1+√7)

or approximately:

(-4.65, -3.65) and (0.65, 1.65)

Mashcka [7]
<span>1. 4 cardinals because: 6 mockingbirds : x cardinals = 9 mockingbirds : 6 cardinals 6*6 / 9 = 4 2. 2 cardinals because: 5 blue jays : x cardinals = 15 blue jays : 6 cardinals 5*6 / 15 = 2 3. 30 mockingbirds because; 20 cardinals : x mockingbirds = 6 cardinals : 9 mockingbirds 20*9 / 6 = 30</span>
