steps
(x) = 5x^2-3x+7
refine
x=5x^2-3x+7
Switch sides
5x^2-3x+7-x=x-x
Subtract x from both sides
5x^2-4x+7=0
Solve with the quadratic formula
Answer:
h = 7 + 6x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are trying to find the height of the tree, we put h on the left side of the equation. Since the tree is 7ft tall at the moment, we write 7ft on the right side of the equation. Knowing that the tree grows 6 inches each year (x) we write 6x on the right side of the equation.
Let the number he hasn't read yet be X
pages he has read = 3 + ¼x
so 3+¼x +x = 193
5/4x = 193-3 = 190
5x = 190×4 = 760
x= 760÷5 = 152
a. number of pages he hasn't read yet is 152
b if he reads 8 pages in 1 day
then he'll read 152 pages in 152/8 days = 19days
