Answer:
This quadratic equation has 2 solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume the '?' in your question is meant to be power 2 (²), or else it would not be a quadratic equation. You could write it using the superscript version of 2.
We can solve this equation by expressing it in the form: ax² + bx + c
x² + 9x= -8
x² + 9x + 8 = 0
Now if you know the discriminant, you can simply plug in your values of a, b, and c to see how many solutions there are.
In this case, you would not need the discriminant as there are whole-number factors and hence this can simply be factorised.
x² + 9x + 8 = 0
(x + 8)(x + 1) = 0
For this equation to be true (= 0), x can equal -8 OR -1.
Hence, this quadratic equation has 2 solutions.
Answer: B. 3x + 1/5
tom's pencil is longer than Ellen's pencil:
5x + 2/5 - (2x + 1/5) = 5x - 2x + 2/5 - 1/5 = 3x + 1/5 (cm)
