Answer:
2. x = 47
3. x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
These problems involve proportions, or equivalent ratios. You can solve for 'x' in each by using cross-multiplication and division.
2. 28(7) = 4(x + 2)
Distribute = 196 = 4x + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides: 196 - 8 = 4x + 8 - 8 or 188 = 4x
Solve for x: x = 47
3. 2(2x + 7) = 11(3x - 4)
Distribute: 4x + 14 = 33x - 44
Add 44 to both sides: 4x + 14 + 44 = 33x - 44 + 44 or 4x + 58 = 33x
Subtract 4x from both sides: 4x + 58 - 4x = 33x - 4x or 58 = 29x
Solve for x: x = 2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite this quadratic in standard form: 3x^2 + 7x - 1.
The coefficients of x are {3, 7, -1}, and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or
7^2 - 4(3)(-1), or 49 + 12, or 61. Because the discriminant is positive, this quadratic has two real, unequal roots
