Answer:

x = -3 +/- square root(22)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -b +/- square root(b^2 - 4ac) / 2a

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

these are both the quadratic formula but one is solved for the x and another for 0

a= 1

b= 6

c = -13

x= -6 +/- square root( 6^2 - 4(1)(13)) / 2(1)

x = -6 +/- sqrt( 36 + 52) / 2

x= -6 +/- sqrt (88) / 2

sqrt of 88 = 2 x sqrt (22)

divide 2 on each

x= -3 +/- sqrt (22)

What is 2x+3y=30 & x+y=14<br> In elimination

puteri [66]

Answer:

x= 12 and y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would line up the equations so the x's and y's are on top of each other. Then you would multiply x+y=14 by 3 to give you 3x+3y=42. After that you subtract 2x-3y=30 and 3x+3y=42 to give you an answer of x=12. After that, you plug in x with 12 in the equation x+y=14. You subtract 12 from both sides to get an answer of 2. So ur solution is (12,2)

If m L=65, then m LJK=___ ????? PLS HELP ASAP

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle L = 65 then the top angle for the triangle LMJ has to be 25 degrees as M is a right angle (or at least has to be for this problem to be possible)

the math to figure it out is 90+65+x=180 <-- due to triangles are 180 degrees inside which simplifies to 25 after that you just have to at 25 to itself 25+25 to get 50 which is the angle of J
