so... what does that give you for the discriminant?
if it's a negative value, no solutions
if it's a positive value, two solutions
if it's 0, one solution
To make a fraction like this into a mixed number all you have to do is multiply the whole number times the denominator which would be 64; then add the numerator to your number which makes it 73 then add the denominator to the bottom. Thus, 73/8.
(-5)-(6)-(6)
-5+-6
-11+-6
