Answer:
(13 + or - (sign) square root(37)) / 6
Step-by-step explanation:
First search up the quadratic formula which is
x = (- b + or - square root(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
and to find a, b, and c you need this formula
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 (btw this is the safest solution to finding your answer with a number in-front of a quadratic equation.)
Math:
a = 3, b = -13, c = 11
b = -13, because of the x on the other end of the equation as the equation above "ax^2 + bx + c = 0" you need the zero to proceed to this next step.
Side Note: You only take the number and not the variable, variables are x, y, w, z, or etc.
(- (- 13) + or - square root((-13)^2 - 4(3)(11) ) ) / 2 * 3
13 + or - square root(37) / 6
"Completing the square" is a step in the solution of quadratic equations. It can be accomplished without the guesswork or trial-and-error associated with methods like factoring, and it always leads to a solution. It is the method by which the quadratic formula is derived.
Brother's weight * 5/8 = 110
Brother's weight * 5/8÷5/8 = 110÷ 5/8
Brother's weight = 176
10x - 35 = 15x - 10
-35 = 5x -10
-25 = 5x
-5 = x
The value of x is -5.
