Answer:

£39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The sharing formula is

5:3

Let June get £x

Buck gets £26 more than june

Buck = x+26

Applying the part to part ratio method

5/3= x+26/x

cross multiply

3(x+26)= 5x

3x+78= 5x

78= 5x-3x

78= 2x

x= 78/2

x= £39

Hence June get £39

Find the solution set of the following quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

<h3> 1) $x_1=\dfrac{7+\sqrt{13}}2\,,\quad x_2=\dfrac{7-\sqrt{13}}2$ </h3><h3> 2) $x_1=-\dfrac13\,,\quad x_2=-3$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2 - 7x + 9 = 0\quad\implies\quad a=1\,,\ b = -7\,,\ c=9\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(-7)^2-4\cdot1\cdot9}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{7\pm\sqrt{49-36}}2\\\\x_1=\dfrac{7+\sqrt{13}}2\,,\quad x_2=\dfrac{7-\sqrt{13}}2$

<h3>2)</h3><h3> $3x^2 + 10x=-3\\\\3x^2+10x+3=0\quad\implies\quad a=3\,,\ b =10\,,\ c=3\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{10^2-4\cdot3\cdot3}}{2\cdot3}= \dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{100-36}}6\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-10+\sqrt{64}}6=\dfrac{-10+8}6=-\dfrac13\,,\qquad x_2=\dfrac{-10-8}6=-3$ </h3>
