The correct answer would be

In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0.
<span>x^2=-5x-3 ----> add 5x to both sides.
x^2 + 5x = -3 ----> add 3 to both sides.
x^2 + 5x + 3 = 0
Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c.
a = 1 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5</span> (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 3 (because it is the end number)
Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation.



And those would be your two answers.
<span>Scott read 4. Put it this way: x=4. If = 4, then put it into an equation. 5x-3= 17. So, you add three to both sides, then it comes out as this: 5x= 20. Divide by five, and you get x= 4.</span>

Answer:
step 2; misapplication of the distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
To eliminate parentheses, the distributive property of multiplication over addition tells you the outside factor is applied to each of the terms inside. The second step should be ...
Step 2: (0.5)(4) +(0.5)(1.2x) +(0.5)(-3.1) = 2 +0.6x -1.55
Shane's mistake was that he added the factor to the first term, subtracted the factor from the coefficient of the second term, and added the factor to the third term. He was inconsistent even in his misapplication of the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:A device tests whether each blinker on a car is functioning properly. A company estimates that 2.8% of blinkers that they produce are defective. The device is 98% accurate for blinkers that are functioning properly and 96% accurate for blinkers that are defective. You use the device to test a randomly selected blinker. What is the probability that the test result is correct?
