Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                              x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                              x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                              x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
                              x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..

K increased by the product of 5 and 3 ​
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

k+15

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "increased" indicates that there will be addition and the word "product" indicates there will be multiplication. Since it's asking for the product of 5 and 3, we can solve by multiplying those two numbers to get 15. Our variable k will then add 15. So, the final answer we get is: k+15

Find the difference.<br>(2n - 9) - 5(-2.4n + 4) =​
MArishka [77]

Answer:

14n - 29

Step-by-step explanation:

First you'd distribute in the parentheses by -5. -5 × -2.4n and -5 × 4 which you would get 12 and -20.

Then, bring everything down and combine like terms. 2n + 12n = 14n || -9 - 20 or -9 - (-20) = -29. 14n - 29 is the lowest you can simplify because you can subtract a variable and a constant together.

4. Tyson and his friends go ice skating. Tyson must pay an initial fee of $18.30 plus $4.80 per hour.
hjlf

Answer:

equation: c = 4.80h + 18.30, cost for four hours: (4, 37.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation is c = 4.80h + 18.30 because 18.30, the initial cost, is the y-intercept and because each hour costs $4.80. the cost for four hours would be (4, 37.5) because it costs $37.5 to skate for four hours.
