It has become somewhat fashionable to have students derive the Quadratic Formula themselves; this is done by completing the square for the generic quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. While I can understand the impulse (showing students how the Formula was invented, and thereby providing a concrete example of the usefulness of abstract symbolic manipulation), the computations involved are often a bit beyond the average student at this point.
The answer to your question would be -25/3
As decimal -8.333333
Answer:
55.5 left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
128/2 = 64
half each week so;
1 whole = two weeks
8 weeks = 8
+ 1 = 8 1/2
so, 64/8.5
is going to be 55.5 left.
The answer to your question is 89
Express Movers equation would be y= 25 + .8x
Smith equation would be y= 35 + .6x
if you went 14 miles with Movers, you would go 1 mile with Smith for the same price.
