Subtract 3 from both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x - 13 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -5 ± √((5)^2 - 4(-2)(-13)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
x = [-5 ± √(25 - (104) ) ] / ( -4 )
x = [-5 ± √(-79) ] / ( -4)
Since √-79 is nonreal, the answer to this question is that there are no real solutions.

Answer:
(3, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want the solution to the system ...
The second equation gives a nice expression for x, so we can use that in the first equation.
2(y+2) -3y = 3 . . . . substitute for x in the first equation
2y +4 -3y = 3 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
-y = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 4
y = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1
x = 1 +2 = 3 . . . . . . substitute for y in the second equation
The solution is (x, y) = (3, 1).
Answer:
(d) 112 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formla ...
A = bh . . . . . . where b is the base length and h is the height
__
Here, the base is divided into parts, but their total length is 5m+9m = 14m. The height is given as 8m, so the area is ...
A = (14 m)(8 m) = 112 m²
The area of the parallelogram is 112 square meters.
__
<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can also figure this as the sum of the areas of the two triangles and that of the center rectangle.
A = 2(1/2bh) +bh
A = 2(1/2(5 m)(8 m)) +(9 m)(8 m) = 40 m² +72 m² = 112 m²
This is the answer hope this helped u
