Answer:
The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:
Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:
- <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints.
</u>
- <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints.
</u>
As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.
<u>Given</u>:
The quadratic equation is 
We need to determine the solutions of the quadratic equation.
<u>Solution</u>:
Let us solve the equation to determine the value of x.
Adding both sides of the equation by 5x and 3, we get;

The solution of the equation can be determined using quadratic formula.
Thus, we get;



Thus, the two roots of the equation are
and 
Hence, the solutions of the equation are
and
