Correct Question:
Explain how you know that 88 is a solution to the equation 1/8x =11 by completing the sentences:
The word "solution" means . . .
88 is a solution to 1/8x=11 because . . .
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
✔️The word solution means the value of the unknown variable, x. This means, when the value of x is substituted into the equation, the equation becomes balance as the value on the left equals the value on the right.
✔️88 is a solution to ⅛x = 11 because:
if we substitute x for 88 into the equation, both sides would be equal.
Thus:
⅛×88 = 11
11 = 11
This is true . Solution , root , x and zero all are the same thing
Subtract 32 to both sides to the equation becomes -5x^2 + 7x + 9 = 0.
To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -7 ± √(7^2 - 4(-5)(9)) ] / ( 2(-5) )
x = [ -7 ± √(49 - (-180) ) ] / ( -10 )
x = [ -7 ± √(229) ] / ( -10)
x = [ -7 ± sqrt(229) ] / ( -10 )
x = 7/10 ± -sqrt(229)/10
The answers are 7/10 + sqrt(229)/10 and 7/10 - sqrt(229)/10.
