 2x2-5x-3=0 

Two solutions were found :

 x = -1/2 = -0.500

 x = 3

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

(2x2 - 5x) - 3 = 0

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  2x2-5x-3 

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .
The middle term is,  -5x  its coefficient is  -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -3 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -3 = -6 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -6  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $10 plus an additional $0.15 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs $30 p
Mkey [24]

First, you need to write to expressions to model each situation:

Plan A: 10+0.15x

Plan B: 30+0.1x


Next, set the expressions equal to each other and solve for x:

10+0.15x=30+0.1x

<em>*Subtract 0.1x from both sides to isolate the variable*</em>

10+0.05x=30

<em>*Subtract 10 from both sides*</em>

0.05x=20

<em>*Divide both sides by 0.05*</em>

x=400


The plans would have the same cost after 400 minutes of calls.


To find how much money the plans cost at 400 minutes, plug 400 into either expression.  We'll use Plan A:

10+0.15(400)

10+60

70


The plans will cost $70.


Hope this helps!

Scilla [17]

Answer:

18, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of 40 is 20 right? Then one number has to be 2 less, while the other number is 2 more. So there is a difference of 4.

Which real value of m makes the expression undefined<br><br> M^8+1/4m^2
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the rational expression cannot be zero as this would make the rational expression undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that m cannot be.

4m² = 0 ⇒ m² = 0 ⇒ m = 0 ← excluded value
