Answer:
v=−5
Step-by-step explanation:
2v + 18 = 16 - 4(v + 7)
2v+18=16−4(v+7)
2v+18=16+(−4)(v)+(−4)(7)(Distribute)
2v+18=16+−4v+−28
2v+18=(−4v)+(16+−28)(Combine Like Terms)
2v+18=−4v+−12
2v+18=−4v−12
Add 4v to both sides.
2v+18+4v=−4v−12+4v
6v+18=−12
Subtract 18 from both sides.
6v+18−18=−12−18
6v=−30
Divide both sides by 6.
6v
/6
=
−30

Answer:
7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 times 3 is 7 1/2
"The discriminant is prime?" I haven't heard that one before.
Here are the general rules:
1. a positive discriminant results in two real, unequal roots.
2. a zero discr. results in two real, equal roots.
3. a negative discr. results in two complex roots, which sometimes means two imaginary roots.
