Hello, please consider the following.
We can estimate the discriminant, and then, the solutions and we take the largest one.
Thank you
Multiply 2/3 by 8 and you will get 16/3 or 5.33 repeating.
6 = 1 - 2n +5
5 = -2n +5
0 = -2n
n=0
Answer: 0 would be the answer.
Money makes for nice decimal examples.
If you had $1.50, and you wanted to split it among three people, you would have :
1.50 divided by 3 (which would be $0.50 each)
