Hi there!

The first correct step for solving the equation will be to get rid of the parentheses, and it will be like so,

-5(4x - 7)

Divide -5 on both 4x and -7, you will get, -20x + 35.

Hope this helped!~

Answer:

$x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula: $x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ when the equation is $0=ax^2+bx+c$

The given equation is $1=-2x+3x^2+1$ . Let's first arrange this so its format looks like $y=ax^2+bx+c$ :

$1=-2x+3x^2+1$

$1=3x^2-2x+1$

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

$1-1=3x^2-2x+1-1\\0=3x^2-2x+0$

Now, we can easily identify 3 as a, -2 as b and 0 as c. Plug these into the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}$

I hope this helps!

Why does 0.25 x 0.4 have a one decimal place in the product

Dafna11 [192]

The product of these numbers are 0.100
since 0.100 is same as 0.1
so there is only one decimal place

Less than because it is negative and 2 is positive.
