<h3> </h3><h2> F-{1} (x)= x/6 + 5/6</h2>
First add 7d to both sides:
-22 = 11d
Now divide by 11 both sides
-2 = d
You can work on either side of the equation, I used the right side for the variables because it was easier to add to positive numbers than dealing with negative numbers on the left side:
-7d -4d = 22
-11d =22
d = -2
either way you get the same answer :)
the discriminant formula is b^2-4ac
so plug the values from each equation into the formula and solve, the result is the value of the discriminant
if the number is negative, there are no real roots/x-int
if it is 0 there is one real root/x-intercepts
if it is positive it has 2 real roots/x-int
and to find the actual solutions you have to plug the values into the quadratic formula
