Hello!

no, that is not the correct way to isolate x. you were somewhat on the right track however.

here's the correct way:

add 7 to both sides to get -3x = -6

then divide both sides by -3 to get x = 2

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Plzzzzz help will give brain and points!!! Explain why a quadratic equation with a positive discriminant has two real solutions,

NISA [10]

Answer:

The given equation is -2x^2 = -8x + 8

This can be rewritten as 2x^2 - 8x + 8 = 0

Here the value of a =2, b = -8 and c = 8

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac

Now plug in the above values in the discriminant, we get

= (-8)^2 - 4*2*8

= 64 - 64

= 0

Here the discriminant is 0, so we will get one real root.

The discriminant is equal to 0, which means the equation has one real number solution.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

sergey [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 42x + 56

length * width = 14* 3x + 14*4

14 * width = 14*(3x+4)

$width=\frac{14*(3x+4)}{14}\\\\width=3x+4$
