Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 + 8x = 2
3x^2 + 8x - 2 = 0
D = b^2+4ac
D = 8^2+4(3)(-2)
D = 64+(-24)
D = 64-24
D = 40
Answer: Forgot to divide at the end
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out your friend's error, solve the equation yourself.
- Distribute the 5 to get 25x+30
- Combine like terms in the first equation toget 25x-3=25x+30
- Add 3 to the other side.
When we do this, we realize adding 3 would make it 33. This shows that the friend likely forgot to divide by 25 to completely isolate x, and stopped at that step.
