<em>Step #1: </em>
Make sure the equation is in the form of [ Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ].

Yours is already in that form.
A = 1
B = 2
C = -2

<em>Step #2:</em>
The 'discriminant' for that equation is [ B² - 4 A C ].
That's all there is to it, but it can tell you a lot about the roots of the equation.

-- If the discriminant is zero, then the left  side of the equation is a perfect square,
and both roots are equal. 

-- If the discriminant is greater than zero, the the roots are real and not equal.

-- If the discriminant is less than zero, then the roots are complex numbers.

The discriminant of your equation is  [ B² - 4 A C ] = 2² - 4(1)(-2) = 4 + 8 = 12

Your equation has two real, unequal roots.

Bo and Brica are yoga instructors. Between the both of them, they teach 46 yoga classes each week. If Brica teaches 11 fewer tha
PtichkaEL [24]

Bo teaches 19 classes and Brica teaches 27 classes per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Bo and Brica are yoga instructors

  • They teach 46 yoga classes each week
  • Brica teaches 11 fewer than twice as many as Bo

We need to find how many classes each instructor teaches per week

Assume that Bo teaches x classes per week

∵ Bo teaches x classes per week

∵ Brica teaches 11 fewer than twice as many as Bo

∵ Twice means times 2 and 11 fewer is - 11

- Multiply x by 2 and subtract 11 from the product

∴ Brica teaches 2x - 11 classes per week

∵ They teach 46 classes per week

- Add the number of their classes and equate the sum by 46

∴ x + 2x - 11 = 46

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ 3x - 11 = 46

- Add 11 to both sides

∴ 3x = 57

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ x = 19

∵ Bo teaches x classes per week

∴ Bo teaches 19 classes per week

∵ Brica teaches 2x - 11 classes per week

∴ Brica teaches 2(19) - 11 = 27 classes per week

Bo teaches 19 classes and Brica teaches 27 classes per week
