Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
= 
= 
( cross- multiply )
8(3x - 20) = 56
24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9
Answer: x= -9/19
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+18/8=x/4
5x+ 9/4=x/4
5x+9/4-9/4=x/4-9/4
5x= x-9/4
5x(4)=x-9/4(4)
20x=x-9
20x-x=x-9-x
19x=-9
19x/19=-9/19
x=-9/19
The part of the quadratic formula that dictates whether the function is factorable or not is B. b^2 - 4ac. This determines the number of real, imaginary, negative and positive roots.
In the equation <span>2x^2 + 7x + 3,
we use the quadratic formula
x = -b +- sqrt (b2 -4ac) /2a = -7 +- </span><span>sqrt (49 -24) /4
the answers are x1 =-0.5 and x2 = -3.</span>
