Mathematics

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

Five times the number is expressed as 5x  

28 greater than the product of the number and -2 is expressed as;

28 + (-2x)

Equating both expressions

5x = 28 + (-2x)

5x = 28 - 2x

5x+2x = 28

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

Hence the number is 4

Use the quadratic formula to solve x^2-4x+3. Show your work. Then describe the solution
mars1129 [50]
Quadratic formula is x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

a= 1, b=-4, and c=3

Therefore, x=(-(-4)+-sqrt((-4)^2-4(1)(3))/(2(1))

Solve for both the plus and minus equations; the answers will be the roots to the quadratic equation.
