Solve for x.

xenn [34]

Answer:

$a \: \: x = \frac{ -1 ± i\sqrt{139}}{14}$

Explanation:

Since this is unfactorable, use the Quadratic Formula:

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

Now, take the information and input it:

$-1 ± \frac{ \sqrt{1 - 4(7)(5)}}{2(7)} \\ \\ -1 ± \frac{ \sqrt{ -139}}{ 14} = \frac{-1 ± i\sqrt{139}}{14}$

You volunteer at an animal shelter on the weekends and today is adoption day! At the beginning of the event, you start with 44

Angelina_Jolie [31]

6 cats/kittens were adopted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cats/kittens at the event = 44

Number of cats/kittens adopted = x

Number of cats/kittens returned = Twice returned as adopted = 2x

New total = 50

We will subtract the adopted and add the returned cats/kittens.

Total cats/kittens at event - adopted + returned = New total

$44-x+2x=50\\44+x=50\\x=50-44\\x=6$

6 cats/kittens were adopted.

Algebraically solve the system of equations shown below. Note that you can use either factoring or the quadratic formula to find

ivann1987 [24]

$6x^2+19x-15=-12x+15\\
6x^2+31x-30=0\\
6x^2+36x-5x-30=0\\
6x(x+6)-5(x+6)=0\\
(6x-5)(x+6)=0\\
x=\frac{5}{6} \vee x=-6\\\\
y=-12\cdot\frac{5}{6} +15\vee y=-12\cdot(-6)+15\\
y=-10 +15\vee y=72+15\\
y=5 \vee y=87\\\\
x=\frac{5}{6} \wedge y=5\\
x=-6 \wedge y=87$
