To find the amount of matches won:
120 – 50 = 70
So the baseball team has won 70 matches.
To convert this to a percentage:
(Matches won / Total matches ) x 100
(70/120) x 100 = 58.3% (rounded to 1 decimal place)
Discussion
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
The general equation for a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c
In this equation's case
a = 1
b= -5
c = - 3
Solve
(-5)^2 - 4*(1)*(-3)
25 - (-12)
25 + 12
37
Note
Since the discriminate is > 0, the roots are real and different. The roots do exist and there are 2 of them.
I’m pretty sure it’s x=10 because
8x + 50 = 130
So we would subtract 50 from both sides so it would be 8x = 130 - 50 then it would give us 80 so now we have 8x =80, now we will need to divide the 8 on both sides to get x, so 80/8 equals 10
