Answer:

k = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can make this have the form of a quadratic function, or ax²+bx+c=0. To do this, we can first subtract 10x from both sides to get

(2k+1)x²-8x=-6

Next, we can add 6 to both sides, resulting in

(2k+1)x²-8x+6 = 0

For a quadratic function of form ax²+bx+c=0, we can see that a=2k+1, b=-8, and c=6. We can then apply the quadratic equation, or

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a) to get our roots to be

x= (8 ± √(64-4(6)(2k+1)))/(2*(2k+1))

=  (8 ± √(64-(48k+24)))/(4k+2)

=  (8 ± √(40-48k))/(4k+2)

For the roots to be equal, we must have the two roots equal to each other. We can write this as

(8 + √(40-48k))/(4k+2) = (8 - √(40-48k))/(4k+2)

multiply both sides by (4k+2) to remove the denominator

8+√(40-48k) = 8 - √(40-48k)

subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the square roots

√(40-48k) = - √(40-48k)

The only number that is equal to its negative self (and is real) is 0. Therefore, √(40-48k) = - √(40-48k) = 0, so we have

√(40-48k) = 0

square both sides to remove the square root

40-48k = 0

add 48k to both sides to isolate the k and its coefficient

40 = 48k

divide both sides by 48 to isolate k

k = 40/48 = 5/6

Korvikt [17]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Bill + 220

Total is 538 so subtract 220 which gives you 318.

318/2 = 159

159+220 for Bill = 379

Bob has 159

Add 159 + 220 for Bill and 159 for bob = 538

So Bill has 379

and Bob has 159

HELLP PLSS<br><br><br>(-2 and 1/9) - (-4 and 1/3) = x<br><br><br>Find the value of x
dedylja [7]

Answer:

x = 20/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write out all of the mixed fractions into improper fraction form. So -2 and 1/9 becomes -19/9 and -4 and 1/3 becomes -13/3. Then we get (-19/9) - (-13/3). The two minus signs together means a positive/plus sign, so we get -19/9 + 13/3. In order to add, we want the denominator to be the same. A common denominator could be 9, so -19/9 + 13(3)/3(3) = -19/9 + 39/9 = 20/9, which is our final answer

- 8x + 4 ≤ 36
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-8x ≤ 32
Divide both sides by -8.        When dividing by a negative number change the
