Answer:
<h2>x = 12</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:

First of all multiply through by 5 to eliminate the fraction
That's

Next using the addition property add 4 to both sides of the equation
We have

<u>Divide both sides by 2</u>

We have the final answer as
<h3>x = 12</h3>
Hope this helps you
Answer:
(a) There are two complex roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant of a quadratic function describes the nature of its roots:
- <u>negative</u>: two complex roots
- <u>zero</u>: one real root (multiplicity 2)
- <u>positive</u>: two distinct real roots.
__
Your discriminant of -8 is <em>negative</em>, so it indicates ...
There are two complex roots
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
We generally study polynomials with <em>real coefficients</em>. These will never have an odd number of complex roots. Their complex roots always come in conjugate pairs.
Answer:
The statement is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a and b represent two odd integers.
The average (A) is defined by:
A=
In order to prove the statement, you have to show that it's true for all odd integers. But, to disprove it, you just have to find a counterexample where the statement is false.
Notice that it is easier to try to find a counterexample.
For example, a=3 and b=5
A= 
The result of the average is even, therefore the statement is false.
The previous calculation is a counterexample.
