<span>-2x^2-x+7=0
Variable with the highest degree's (exponent) constant, -2 is a, next variable's constant, -1 is b, the constant or number without a variable, 7 is c
using substitution put the numbers into the formula
</span>(-b±√(b^(2)-4ac))/(a^(2))
(-(-1)±√((-1)^(2)-4(-2)(7))/((-2)^(2)) simplify
(1±√(1+56))/4
1±√(57)/4 is your answer
You would do 0.25x (x is the unknown total number)=19. It is because of is a multiply sign, so 0.25*x=19. Divide both sides by 0.25 and you get 76 as your answer.
I’m not sure sorry also it past due
Answer = 1.414
I used the prime factorization method.
Hope this answers your question.
X=5/9
Y=0.65
