Answer:

- 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

7a + 2 = 3a + 1

subtract the 1 from both sides

7a + 1 = 3a

subtract 7a from both sides

1 = - 4a

divide by - 4

A = - 1/4

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation (x + 3)(x +3) = 49? Ax = -2 and x = -16 Bx = 2 and x = -10 Cx = 4 and x = -10 D

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

4 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle (x + 3)(x +3) = 49 \\ x^2+3x+3x+9=49 \\ x^2 +6x+9=49 \\ x^2 + 6x + 9 - 49 = 0 \\x^2+6x-40=0 \\\\ \Delta=b^2-4ac \\ \Delta=6^2-4 \cdot 1 \cdot (-40) \\ \Delta=36+160 \\ \Delta=196 \\ \\ X_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} \\ \\ X_1=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} = \frac{-6+14}{2} = \frac{8}{2}=4 \\ \\ X_2=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} = \frac{-6-14}{2}=\frac{-20}{2} = -10$
