Answer:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
8 x^2 - 12 x - 23 = -5
Divide both sides by 8:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 - 23/8 = -5/8
Add 23/8 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 = 9/4
Add 9/16 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 + 9/16 = 45/16
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 3/4)^2 = 45/16
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 3/4 = (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
Answer: x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
Answer:
0.16 gallons of paint are used on each piece of furniture.
The answer lies between the whole numbers 0 and 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Four gallons of paint are used to paint 20 chairs and 5 small tables.
if each chair and table used the same amount of paint
then
sum the total pieces of furniture
20+5=25 pieces
Find the unit rate
Divide the total gallons of paint used by the total pieces

therefore
0.16 gallons of paint are used on each piece of furniture.
The answer lies between the whole numbers 0 and 1.
