One approach that might be a great help would be if you would look
at the choices ... those things at the bottom of the question that you
didn't give us.
-- One leg is 3 times the length of the other leg.
-- Any right triangle that has one leg three times as long as the other
leg is similar to this triangle.
I'll bet that if you look through the choices, you'll find one there.
Answer:
Question 1: -2xy + 7x
Question 2: 8t - 4v and -4v + 8t
Question 3: -e + 10k and 10k -e
Question 4: x = -3
<h2>ANSWER:</h2>
_______________________________________________________
Answer is x = 6
_______________________________________________________
<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>
_______________________________________________________
We know that 7 - 1 is 6. 6 is what x equals because 7 - 1 is 6 and 6 + 1 is equal to 7.
Hope this helps!
Discussion
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
The general equation for a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c
In this equation's case
a = 1
b= -5
c = - 3
Solve
(-5)^2 - 4*(1)*(-3)
25 - (-12)
25 + 12
37
Note
Since the discriminate is > 0, the roots are real and different. The roots do exist and there are 2 of them.
