If you start with Malvin’s age, take half of it, increase that result by 5, then divide by 3, and finally double that, you get 8
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Malvin's age be x.

  • x / 2
  • x / 2 + 5 = 5x / 10  [ By taking the L.C.M.]
  • ( 5x / 10 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) = 5x / 30   [ Multiply with the reciprocal of 3 ]
  • ( 5x / 30 ) * 2 = 5x / 15

Now let's solve the equation,

5x / 15 = 8

       5x = 8 * 15

       5x = 120

         x = 120 / 5

         x = 24

Therefore, Malvin is 24 years old.

Hope yo liked the answer!!

Using the discriminant, describe the nature of the roots for the equation <br> 49x^2 − 28x + 4 = 0.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Put the equation in standard form by bringing the 4x + 1 to the left side.

7x2 - 4x - 1 = 0

We use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. The discriminant is the expression underneath the radical in the quadratic formula: b2 - 4ac.

b2 - 4ac In this case, a = 7, b = -4, and c = -1

(-4)2 - 4(7)(-1)

16 + 28 = 44

Now here are the rules for determining the nature of the roots:

(1) If the discriminant = 0, then there is one real root (this omits the ± from the quadratic formula, leaving only one possible solution)

(2) If the discriminant > 0, then there are two real roots (this keeps the ±, giving you two solutions)

(3) If the discriminant < 0, then there are two imaginary roots (this means there is a negative under the radical, making the solutions imaginary)

44 > 0, so there are two real roots

Answer:

-2 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

w + (-x) - 2/3

Let w = -5/9  and x = 4/3

-5/9  - 4/3 - 2/3

Get a common denominator

-5/9  -4/3*3/3  -2/3*3/3

-5/9  -12/9  -6/9

Add

-23/9

Change to a mixed number

-2 5/9
