b2 + -4b + -14 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0
Solving
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0
Solving for variable 'b'.
Begin completing the square.
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + -4b + 14 + b2 = 0 + 14
Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
-4b + b2 = 0 + 14
Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
-4b + b2 = 14
The b term is -4b. Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.
Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4b + 4 + b2 = 14 + 4
Reorder the terms:
4 + -4b + b2 = 14 + 4
Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18
4 + -4b + b2 = 18
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + -2)(b + -2) = 18
Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.242640687
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(b + -2) equal to 4.242640687 and -4.242640687. b + -2 = 4.242640687
Simplifying
b + -2 = 4.242640687
Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = 4.242640687
Solving
-2 + b = 4.242640687
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
b = 4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: 4.242640687 + 2 = 6.242640687
b = 6.242640687
Simplifying
B = 6.242640687
Subproblem 2
b + -2 = -4.242640687
Simplifying
b + -2 = -4.242640687
Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = -4.242640687
Solving
-2 + b = -4.242640687
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
b = -4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -4.242640687 + 2 = -2.242640687
b = -2.242640687
Simplifying
b = -2.242640687
Answer: X = (
, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
x(4x - 19) = 30
4x^2 - 19x = 30
4x^2 - 19x - 30 = 0
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
= 
= 6
=
= 
= -1.25
X = (, 6)
Answer:
$14.42
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of Album - $17.00 * .20 = 3.4 (this is the discount)
Then subtract 3.40 from 17.00 to get 13.60
Add the sales tax in by doing $13.60 * 0.06 = $0.82
Add that to the 13.60 to get $14.42 for the total after discount and after tax.
