6. Solve by factoring: 2x²-11x+14=0
Mariana [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 2x^2-11x+14=0 give me 2 ways to get the 2 values of x?

The first way is to make factors by middle-term splitting. You get (x-2)(2x-7)=0, so the solution is x=2,7/2.

The other way is to use the formula for the solution of roots. Roots= (-b+ rootD)/2a, (-b-rootD)/2a, if the equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c=0. Here D is the discriminant. D=b^2-4ac

How do I solve 12x^2+11x+2=0?

Solve for x. 5x3−2x2−47x−14=0?

How can I prove that x^2+2x+2=0?

Is the sequence X^2 + 2x -2 =0?

What are the steps to solve 2^(2x)-3(2^x) +2=0?

Lets assume your equation is of the form ax^2+ bx + c =0

First method :

By breaking 'b' factor of x into two parts using factors of 'ac' ( a *c)

like 2* 14 = 28 = 7* 4 ( b is 11 which could be splitted in values 7 and 4)

equation becomes 2x^2 -4x-7x+14 = 0

take out common factors 2x(x-2) -7 (x-2) = 0

which is (2x-7) (x-2) =0 ; x =2,7/2 are two values

Second method:

make equation in the form of (x+h)^ 2 - k = 0 ; then x+h = +sqrt(k) and -sqrt(k)

which will give x as -h+sqrt(k) , +sqrt(k)

2x^2 - 11x +14 =0 wil become x^2 -11/2 x + 7 = 0

which is (x-11/4)^2 + 7- 121/16 =0

(x-11/4)^2 = (121/16) - 7 = 9/16

x- 11/4 = 3/4 and -3/4

x = 14/4 and 8/4 = 7/2 and 2

Monica and Michael both want to buy a scooter. Monica has already saved $25 and plans to save $5 per week. Michael has $16 and p
Anna71 [15]

3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of weeks, we have to equate the amount already saved and planned to save by both each week.

So we can write the expression as,

Let w be the number of weeks.

25 + 5w =16 + 8w

Grouping the terms as,

25 - 16 = 8w - 5w

9 = 3w

Dividing both sides by 3, we will get,

3w/3 = 9/3

 w = 3

So number of weeks = 3

John’s gross pay for the week is $500. He pays 1.45 percent in Medicare tax, 6.2 percent in Social Security tax, 2 percent in st
olchik [2.2K]
Gross pay = 500

deductions :
medicare tax : 0.0145(500) = 7.25
S.S tax : 0.062(500) = 31.00
sales tax : 0.02(500) = 10.00
income tax : 0.2(500) = 100
insurance = 20
total deductions : 7.25 + 31 + 10 + 100 + 20 = 168.25

gross pay - deductions = net pay
500 - 168.25 = net pay
331.75 = net pay <===

There are 24 students in Ms. Messing's class 6 more students walk to school then ride their bikes thus number of students who ri
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Walk = x + 6
Bike = x
Driven = x

x + x + x + 6 = 24
combine like terms

3x + 6 = 24
subtract 6 from both sides 

3x = 18
divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

x = 6

Walk = x + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12

12 students walk to school.
