X^2-2x -3 =0
a =1 b =-2 and c = -3 

x = - (-2) +/- sqrt (-2)^2 - 4(1)(-3)
      --------------------------------------
                   2(1)

 x = + 2 +/- sqrt [(4) - 4(-3)]
       -------------------------------
                    2

 x = +2 +/- sqrt [4 + 12]
       --------------------------
                   2
x = +2 +/- sqrt[16]
      -------------------
              2

x = +2 +/- (4)
      -------------
             2

x = 2 + 4    or 2 -4 
      -------        ------
         2               2

x = 6/2      or   -2/2

x = 3   or x = -1

last weekend, 5% of the tickets sold at sea world were discount tickets. If sea world sold 60 tickets in all, how many discount
Ronch [10]
The percent proportion is a/b = p/100, where p is the percentage of the total fraction on the left side of the equation that you are trying to figure out.

We know that p=5, because p represents percentage, and the percentage 5% is equal to the fraction 5/100.  Also, we know that 60 = b, or the denominator as this is the entire portion that we are trying to figure out.

a/60=5/100

Now, we need to use cross products, or multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other, and setting them equal to one another.

100 * a = 60 * 5

If we simplify by multiplying, then we get the equation:

100a = 300

When we divide the variable by the coefficient, we get the equation

a=3

Therefore, sea world sold 3 discount tickets.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

I think what you meant to say is "If a triangle has 2 sides that are 4 cm and 20 cm, what are the possible lengths of the third side?"

Basically, when given 2 sides of a triangle, the third side must be GREATER  than the DIFFERENCE of the other 2 sides and LESS than the SUM of the other 2 sides.

difference = 16 cm

sum = 24 cm

So, the third side must be greater than 16 cm and less than 24 cm
