Answer:

  a.  -216, 0 real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of ...

  ax² + bx + c = 0

is ...

  d = b² -4ac

When we put your equation into the standard form shown above, we get ...

  7n² +8n +10 = 0

Then we can identify a=7, b=8, c=10. The discriminant is then ...

  d = 8² - 4·7·10 = 64 -280 = -216

___

The interpretation of the discriminant is ...

  • < 0; no real roots (2 complex roots)
  • = 0; one real root (multiplicity 2)
  • > 0; 2 real roots

Your discriminant is -216, so there are 0 real roots.

What value of x make the equation 24-(3x - 9)-6= -2(4x - 10+ 5x + 7 true?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

24 - (3x - 9) - 6 = -2(4x - 10) + 5x + 7

solve the brackets by using the distribute property:

1(3x - 9) = 3x - 9

-2(2x - 10) = -8x + 20

rewrite the equation:

24 - 3x - 9 - 6 = -8x + 20 + 5x + 7

combine like therms:

27 - 3x = -3x + 27

subtract 27 from both sides:

27 - 3x - 27 = -3x + 27 - 27

- 3x = -3x

add x to both sides of the equation:

-3x + 3x = -3x + 3x

x = x or 0 = 0

to check, substitute 0 for x

24 - (3(0) - 9) - 6 = -2(4(0) - 10) + 5(0) + 7

anything times 0 is 0

24 - (0 - 9) - 6 = -2(0 - 10) + 0 + 7

solve:

24 + 9 - 6 = 0 + 20 + 0 + 7

27 = 27
