Option 2.
shows the correct way to use the quadratic formula to solve the given equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
For an equation of the form
the solution is
.
Here a is the coefficient of
, b is the coefficient of x and c is the constant term.
can also be written as 
Comparing
with
, we get that a is 1, b is -4 and c is -21.
To get the solution, we substitute the values of a, b, and c in
.
Step 2:
Substituting the values, we get


This is option 2.
Either it's D. or A. not so sure.
Answer:
I don't understand your question
The number that each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the decimals before solving -m+0.02+2.1m=-1.45-4.81m
It would be better to group all similar numbers.
<span>-m+0.02+2.1m=-1.45-4.81m
</span>-m + 2.1m + 4.81m = -1.45 - 0.02
5.91m = -1.47
The equation shown above, in order for us to eliminate the decimal,
we need to divide 5.91.
