Hello there!
x² + x = 7/4
x² + - 7/4 = 0
Now we gonna use the quadratic formula to find x
a= 1
b=1
c = -1.75
x = -b+/-√b² -4ac all of them divide by 2a
x = -(1)+/-√(1)² - (4)(1)(-1.75) all of them divide by 2(1)
x= -1+/-√8 all of them divide by 2
x = -1/2 + √2 or x = -1/2 - √2
The correct option is option C
I hope that helps!
Answer:
Any two factors of 18 2 ,3
The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
I think the answer is
42.5
not sure but hope this helps
