Let r represent the number of red marbles in the jar. The problem statement tells us ...
  5r -12 = 2r
  3r = 12 . . . . . add 12-2r
  r = 12/3 = 4

The number of yellow marbles originally in the jar is 5*4 = 20.

Solve the quadratic equation 3x^2 - 9x + 1 = 0 Give answer to 3 significant figures
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Either, (9+√69)/6 or (9-√69)/6

Step wise:

3x²-9x+1=0-------------------(i)

comparing equation onw with (ax²+bx+c=0), we get,

a=3, b=-9, c=1

now,

using Quadratic Formula,

(-b±√b²-4ac)/2a=x

{-(-9)±√(-9)²-4.3.1}/2.3=x

(9±√81-12)/6=x

(9±√69)/6=x

Taking +(ve) sign                   Taking -(ve) sign

(9+√69)/6=0                           (9-√69)/6=0

∴(9+√69)/6=0                         ∴(9-√69)/6=0

Answer:

A. If the side lengths are the same, then a triangle is not scalene.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles.

Simply stated, any polygon with three (3) lengths of sides is a triangle.

In Geometry, a triangle is considered to be the most important shape.

Generally, there are three (3) main types of triangle based on the length of their sides and these include;

I. Equilateral triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles equal.

II. Isosceles triangle: it has two (2) of its sides equal in length and two (2) equal angles.

III. Scalene triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles different in length and size respectively.
