Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving all terms of the quadratic to one side, we have
.
A quadratic has one real solution when the discriminant is equal to 0. In a quadratic
, the discriminant is
.
(The discriminant is more commonly known as
, but I changed the variable since we already have a
in the quadratic given.)
In the quadratic above, we have
,
, and
. Plugging this into the formula for the discriminant, we have
.
Using the distributive property to expand and simplifying, the expression becomes

Setting the discriminant equal to 0 gives
.
We can then solve the equation as usual: first, divide by 2 on both sides:
.
Squaring both sides gives
,
and subtracting 5 from both sides, we have

Answer:
6 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
x=12/3 => x=4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3*(4x - 3) = 63 Divide both sides by 3
4x - 3 = 63/3
4x - 3 = 21 Add 3 to both sides
4x = 21 + 3
4x = 24 Divide by 4 on both sides
4x/4 = 24/4
x = 6
Note: The perimeter is the sum of all three sides. One side is 4x - 3 All 3 sides must be 3*(4x - 3)
It is not an equilateral triangle. To prove this, you must solve for x. I found x by setting 2x+5.2 = 3x+1.2 to get x=4. Then I plugged 4 into equation to see if they were equal. 2(4)+5.2= 13.2 and 3(4)+1.3=13.2 but 2(4)+6.2=14.2. This allows us to conclude that the triangle is not equilateral because all of the sides are NOT congruent. Hope that helped:))
