- Discriminant Formula: b² - 4ac, with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant
So firstly, using our equation plug in the values into the discriminant formula and solve as such:
(-7)² - 4 × 3 × 4
49 - 48
1
So our discriminant is 1. <u>Since 1 is positive and a perfect square, this means that there are 2 real, rational solutions.</u>
Answer:
x is 0
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract the number 3 5 and 8 then combine like terms and 8 on both sides of the equation then simplify after that divide both sides of the equation by the same term then simplify
Answer:
We can call the amounts of red, gray, and brown dye 1 1/8x, 3/4x and 5/8 x respectively and we can write the equation:
1 1/8x + 3/4x + 5/8x = 20
2 1/2x = 20
x = 8 which means that the stylist needs 1 1/8 * 8 = 9 oz red, 3/4 * 8 = 6 oz gray and 5/8 * 8 = 5 oz brown.
