X²+bx=c
x=[-b+√(b²+4c)]/2

2x(x+5)=4
2x²+10x=4
x²+5x=2

x=[-5+√(5²+4*4)]/2 

if b=-1/2 and c=-9/2
x= {1/2+√[(1/2)²+4*(-9/2)]}/2

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The solutions are:

           x=-5.372\ and\ x=0.372

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The equation is given by:

              2x(x+5)=4

on using the distributive property of multiplication in the left hand side of the equation we have:

2x\times x+2x\times 5=4\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2+10x=4\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2+10x-4=0\\\\i.e.\\\\2(x^2+5x-2)=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2+5x-2=0

Now, we know that the solution of the quadratic equation:

ax^2+bx+c=0 is given by:

x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Here we have:

a=1,\ b=5\ and\ c=-2

Hence, the solution is:

x=\dfrac{-5\pm \sqrt{5^2-4\times 1\times (-2)}}{2\times 1}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{-5\pm \sqrt{25+8}}{2}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{-5\pm \sqrt{33}}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{33}}{2},\ x=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{33}}{2}

Hence, in decimal for the solution is:

x=-5.372\ and\ x=0.372

One factor of 7x2 + 33x – 10 is
stiv31 [10]

7x^{2} +33x-10=0

\implies 7x^{2} +35x-2x-10=0\\\implies7x(x+5)-2(x+5)=0\\\implies (7x-2)(x+5)=0

7x - 2 = 0\\\implies \boxed{\bold{x = \frac{2}{7} }}

x+5=0\\\implies \boxed{\bold{x=-5}}

What is the value of p?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

p =43

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the angle in a triangle

The angle next to 133, angle a,  is 180-133 = 47 because the angles form a straight line

The angle next to 90, angle b, is 180-90 = 90,  because the angles form a straight line

We have a triangle.  The angles in a triangle equal 180 degrees

a+b+ p =180

47+90+p = 180

137 + p = 180

p = 180-137

p =43
