If you would like to find the discriminant of the quadratic equation 0 = 2x^2 + 3x - 5, you can do this using the following steps:
<span>0 = 2x^2 + 3x - 5
0 = ax^2 + bx + c
a = 2, b = 3, c = - 5
</span>D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 3^2 - 4 * 2 * (-5) = 9 + 40 = 49
The correct result would be 49.
Combining like terms is pretty simple. First, you would identify which terms are similar to what terms. For example, you can't combine two terms that aren't similar like 2x and 3y. It would have to be 2x and 3x to combine. Next, be sure to add/multiply/subtract/divide/etc. the terms. For example, if you had the problem 2x + 4x + 3y, you would combine the "x" terms and the resultant problem would be 6x + 3y. Hope this helped :)
True, each number is getting doubled, both sides are proportionally staying the same.
Answer:
11) x = 45
12) x = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
11)
3x + x = 180
4x = 180
x = 45
12)
4x = 5x - 30
4x - 5x = -30
-x = -30
x = 30
