Answer:

- 2x - 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 3(4x + 5) - 2(- 5x + 8)

Multiply the terms in the first parenthesis by - 3 and the terms in the second parenthesis by - 2

= - 12x - 15 + 10x - 16 ← collect like terms

= (- 12x + 10x) + (- 15 - 16)

= - 2x - 31

The difference between the two roots of the equation 3x^2+10x+c=0 is 4 2/3 . Find the solutions for the equation.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Given the equation: $3x^2+10x+c =0$

A quadratic equation is in the form: $ax^2+bx+c = 0$ where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ......[1]

On comparing with given equation we get;

a =3 , b = 10

then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 3 \cdot c}}{2 \cdot 3}$

Simplify:

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is $4\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

i.e,

$x_1 -x_2 = \frac{14}{3}$

Here,

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ , ......[2]

$x_2= \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ .....[3]

then;

$\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} - (\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}) = \frac{14}{3}$

simplify:

$\frac{2 \sqrt{100- 12c} }{6} = \frac{14}{3}$

$\sqrt{100- 12c} = 14$

Squaring both sides we get;

$100-12c = 196$

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

$100-12c -100= 196-100$

Simplify:

-12c = -96

Divide both sides by -12 we get;

c = 8

Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve $x_1 , x_2$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_1 = \frac{-4}{3}$

Now, to solve for $x_2$ ;

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_2 = -2$

therefore, the solution for the given equation is: $-\frac{4}{3}$ and -2.

I really need help with this

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Any parallelogram has the area of the length between the left and right side times the length from the top to the bottom.

Here the horizontal length is easy, it's just 6. it tries to trick you witht he vertical length. You want the straight up nd down line from the top and bottom, which is that 8 on the right. so the area is 6*8

6*8 = 48
