Graciela was trying to solve the quadratic equation x2+2.5x−1.5=0 "I think I need to use the Quadratic Formula because of the de

cimals," she told Walter. Walter replied, "I'm sure there's another way! Can't we rewrite this equation so there aren't any decimals?"

Answer:

The answer to your question is  x² + 5/2x - 3/2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Quadratic equation           x² + 2.5x - 1.5 = 0

Process

1.- Convert the decimals into fractions

2.5 = 25/10 = 5/2

1.5 = 15/10 = 3/2

2.- Substitution

                                       x² + 5/2x - 3/2 = 0

3.- Conclusion

I rewrite the equation, now it is expressed in fractions. It could be solve by factoring.

1.3.33 Question Help A certain triangle has a perimeter of 3078 mi. The shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side,
maksim [4K]

Answer:

the shortest side is 855 miles long.

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b + c = 3078 miles

a = b - 71

c = b + 371

=>

(b-71) + b + (b+371) = 3078

3b + 300 = 3078

3b = 2778

b = 926 miles

a = 926 - 71 = 855 miles

c = 926 + 371 = 1297 miles
