Answer:
The answer is three fiths
Just set it equal to zero and solve using the quadratic equation.
Answer:
============================================
Work Shown:
---------------
Explanation:
The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.
Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)
Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).
If you have two numbers x, y. The geometric mean is: √xy
For 4 and x. Geometric Mean = √4x and this is equal to √6
√4x = √6 Square both sides. The square root disappears.
4x = 6
x = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5
The other number is 1.5.
