Subtract 5 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 6x - 1 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -6 ± √((6)^2 - 4(-2)(-1)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
x = [-6 ± √(36 - (8) ) ] / ( -4 )
x = [-6 ± √(28) ] / (-4)
x = [-6 ± 2*sqrt(7) ] / (-4 )
x =3/2 ± -sqrt(7)/ 2
The answers are 3/2 + sqrt(7)/2 and 3/2 - sqrt(7)/2.

Combine like terms and divide both sides by .24
Answer:
12,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The two thousands that 11,900 is in between are 11,000 and 12,000 which are our two options to choose from. 11,900 is only 100 away from 12,000 and 900 away from 11,000. Because the distance between 11,900 and 12,000 is shorter than the distance between 11,900 and 11,000, this means that 12,000 would be our answer since it is closer.
