Best to factor 5 out of the first 2 terms:

5x^2-7x+2=0  =>  <span>5(x^2 - [7/5]x)                          +2=0

Take half of [-7/5]:  That'd be -7/10.

Square 7/10, add it to  </span>5(x^2 - [7/5]x)                          +2=0  and then subtract it:


5(x^2 - [7/5]x)+ 49/100       -  49/100       )                  +2=0

Then we have   5(x- [7/10] )^2 - 49/100 ) + 200/100 = 0

                          5(x-7/5)^2  - 245/100 + 200/100 = 0
                           5(x-7/5)^2 - 45/100 = 0
Dividing all terms by 5,  x-7/5 = plus or minus sqrt( 9/100 )
                                       x-7/5 = plus or minus 3/10

Then one root is x = 7/5 + 3/10, or  x= 17/10  (answer #1)

The other is        x = 7/5 - 3/10, or x = 14/10 - 3/10, or x = 7/10  (answer #2)

I'm thinking of a number. This number is 12 less than its square. What could my number be?
omeli [17]

let nwmber to be X

the number is 12 less than it's square,

so X=12-X^2

=> X^2+X-12=0

=> (X+4)(X-3)=0

=>X= 3, or X=-4

in math we don't usually take negative numbers into account so your number would be 3

The temperature at a mountain base camp was −3 degrees Celsius on Monday. Tuesday morning, the temperature was 2 degrees Celsius
AnnZ [28]

-9 degrees Celsius

because when the temp is negative it and it keeps going down, then the numbers basically get added and have a negative sign in front of it.

-3 +-2 +-4 = -9

I need help on understanding this concept
Sedbober [7]
So the slope formula is m= (y2-y1) /
(x2-x1). You can label -2 as x1 and 11 as y1. And the other point is x2 and y2. They you just plug it in the m= (y2-y1) /
(x2-x1) formula and solve. To get a better understanding look up, how to find the slope of a line with two points. Hope it helps

How many solutions can be found for the system of linear equations represented on the graph?
g100num [7]

Answer:

A) no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

These lines are parallel.  This means they never intersect; since the solution to a system of equations is the point or points of intersection, this means there is no solution to this system.
