Subtract 5 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 6x - 1 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                                            x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                                            x = [ -6 ± √((6)^2 - 4(-2)(-1)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                                            x = [-6 ± √(36 - (8) ) ] / ( -4 )
                                            x = [-6 ± √(28) ] / (-4)
                                            x = [-6 ± 2*sqrt(7) ] / (-4 )
                                            x =3/2 ± -sqrt(7)/ 2
The answers are 3/2 + sqrt(7)/2 and 3/2 - sqrt(7)/2.

How many solutions does the system of equations have?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

a solution would mean a point where the two lines cross. theres no such thing for parallel lines.

but if the lines are the same, they are parallel and cross everywhere, that would give infinite solutions.

if they would cross once, it would mean one solution

Start at +1 on the x axis and then use 3/1 for rise over run. So you will start at +1 and then from that point rise 3 run 1
