Answer:

  x = -4, 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic can be solved may ways, including graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula. You can also check possible answers by making use of the relationships between solutions and the coefficients.

__

A graph is attached. It shows the solutions to be -4 and 5/2.

__

When factored, the equation becomes ...

  (2x -5)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . has solutions x=-4, x=5/2 (these make the factors zero)

__

Using the quadratic formula, the solutions of ax^2 +bx +c = 0 are found from ...

  x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

  x = (-3±√(3²-4(2)(-20))/(2(2)) = (-3±√169)/4 = {-16, +10}/4

  x = {-4, 5/2}

__

For ax^2 +bx +c = 0, the solutions must satisfy ...

  product of solutions is c/a = -20/2 = -10

Only the first and last choices have this product.

  sum of solutions is -b/a = -3/2

Only the first choice (-4, 5/2) has this sum.

If 3x - 8= -2, find the value of x - 6.
siniylev [52]

Answer:

x-6 = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8= -2

Add 8 to each side

3x - 8+8= -2+8

3x = 6

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 6/2

x =2

We want to find x-6

2-6 = -4
