Answer:

Sarah would take 35 minutes longer than Leo to type 5500 word essay

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ It took Leo 3 hours to type a 4125-word essay

→ The rate is the number of words divided by the time

∴ Leo's rate = 4125 ÷ 3 = 1375 words/hour

∵ Sarah typed her 3800-word essay in 3 hours and 10 minutes

→ Change the 10 min to the hour by divide it by 60

∵ 3 hours 10 min = 3 + \frac{10}{60} = 3 + \frac{1}{6}  = 3\frac{1}{6} hours

∴ Sarah's rate = 3800 ÷ 3\frac{1}{6}  = 1200 words/hour

∵ Leo will type a 5500-word essay

→ Divide it by his rate to find the time taken

∴ Leo takes = 5500 ÷ 1375 = 4 hours

∵ Sarah will type a 5500-word essay

→ Divide it by her rate to find the time taken

∴ Sarah takes = 5500 ÷ 1200 = 4\frac{7}{12} hours

→ Find the difference between their times

∵ The difference = 4\frac{7}{12} - 4 = \frac{7}{12} hour

→ Multiply it by 60 to change to minutes

∴ The difference = \frac{7}{12} × 60 = 35 minutes

∴ Sarah would take 35 minutes longer than Leo to type 5500 word essay

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. 5 - 10x - 3x2 = 0
horsena [70]

Answer:

x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 − 10x − 3x² = 0

Write in standard form:

-3x² − 10x + 5 = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [ -(-10) ± √((-10)² − 4(-3)(5)) ] / 2(-3)

x = [ 10 ± √(100 + 60) ] / -6

x = (10 ± 4√10) / -6

x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3
