Well, there are two solutions.
Add both sides by 15.75 then from here, you can use quadratic formula.
So your answer should be x = -2.44949 or 2.44949.
First, turn the fractions into mixed numbers.
21/4 - 27/8
Then. make the denominators the same.
4 * 2 = 8
21 * 2 = 42
42/8 - 27/8
42 - 27 = 15
15/8
15/8 = 1 7/8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation a = 1, b = 2

1 + 4 = 
5 = 
c = 
This is an important mathematical theorem to know. It's called the Pythagorean Theorem.
So first of all you count all the blocks, so it will be 16 blocks (4x4) sideways and horizontal.
A = 16/4 marked blocks = 25%
B = 16/8 marked blocks = 50%
C = 16/6 marked blocks = ?
D = 16/10 marked blocks = 62,5%
<em>So answer would be A </em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to do this is by using synthetic division (I really hope you know what I'm talking about!)
If the factor is x + 2 = 0, then the solution or the root is x = -2. We will put -2 outside the "box" and the coefficients from the terms of the polynomial inside the "box":
-2| 1 0 0 8
Bring down the first number and multiply it by the -2. Put the product up under the first 0 and add:
-2| 1 0 0 8
-2
1 -2
Now multiply the -2 by the -2, put the product up under the next 0 and add:
-2| 1 0 0 8
-2 4
1 -2 4
Now multiply the 4 by the -2, put the product up under the 8 and add:
-2| 1 0 0 8
-2 4 -8
1 -2 4 0
Those bold numbers are the coefficients to the quotient, which is another polynomial, but is one degree less than the one you started with:
x² - 2x + 4 = 0
Since there is no remainder, then x = -2 is a zero of x³ + 8, and (x + 2) is a factor.
There is a whole world of stuff to learn about quadratics!!
