Answer

x = 28

Explanation

3/8x + 15/2 = 18

Step 1. Subtract 15/2 from both sides

3/8x = 15/2 - 15/2 = 18 - 15/2

3/8x = 21/2

Step 2. Multiply both sides by 8/3

(8/3) * (3/8x) = (8/3) * (21/2)

Step 3. Answer

Therefore x is 28.

you would change the denominators to the least common multiple, in this case, 12. then you would change the fractions to 8/12, 14/12, and 7/12. you would add those, and get 29/12. divide 29 by 12, and get 2. add the rest to get 2 5/12.

Which of the following equations have complex roots?

mestny [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots of quadratic functions occur when the <u>discriminant is negative</u>.

<u>Discriminant</u>

$b^2-4ac\quad\textsf{when}\:\:ax^2+bx+c=0$

Evaluate the discriminant of each of the given equations.

$\textsf{A.} \quad 3x^2+2=0$

$\implies a=3, \quad b=0, \quad c=2$

$\implies b^2-4ac=0^2-4(3)(2)=-24$

As -24 < 0 the equation will have complex roots.

$\textsf{B.} \quad 2x^2+1=7x$

$\implies 2x^2-7x+1=0$

$\implies a=2, \quad b=-7, \quad c=1$

$\implies b^2-4ac= (-7)^2-4(2)(1)=41$

As 41 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

$\textsf{C.} \quad 3x^2-1=6x$

$\implies 3x^2-6x-1=0$

$\implies a=3, \quad b=-6, \quad c=-1$

$\implies b^2-4ac=(-6)^2-4(3)(-1)=48$

As 48 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

$\textsf{D.} \quad 2x^2-1=5x$

$\implies 2x^2-5x-1=0$

$\implies a=2, \quad b=-5, \quad c=-1$

$\implies b^2-4ac=(-5)^2-4(2)(-1)=33$

As 33 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.
