Because the polynomial has degree 2, we can assume that there are 2 solutions (roots), whether real or imaginary.
You can subtract 60 in order to put this in standard form
48x^2+44x-60 = 0
From there, just put a,b, and c into the quadratic formula and you're good to solve for your answers.
(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
(-44+-sqrt(44^2-4(48)(-60)))/2(48)
Then solve.
There is probably a better way, but this should give you the two roots/solutions.
Answer:
12 years and 16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
their ages are in the ratio 3 : 4
let Anjali = 3x and Aditya = 4x ← present ages
In 8 years then
Anjali = 3x + 8 and Aditya = 4x + 8, hence
3x + 8 + 4x + 8 = 44 ← sum of their ages in 8 years
7x + 16 = 44 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
7x = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 4
Anjali is 3x = 3 × 4 = 12 years old and Aditya = 4x = 4 × 4 = 16 years old
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 divided by 2
X= 3
Cancel 3 out by subtracting it by itself, then subtract 3 from 18 to get 15. Now that you have 5x= 15, just divide 15 by 5x to get x= 3
