Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Ratio              =                  New Ratio        All these problems are done the same way. Try to conquer the language.

The original ratio = 24 inches wide / 12 inches tall

Shawna's new ratio = you don't know / 2 inches in height (or tall)

Call what you don't know = x

24/12 = x / 2                        Cross multiply

12 * x = 24 * 2                     Combine the right

12 * x = 48                           Divide by 12

12x/12 = 48/12

x = 4

So the new height is 4 inches.

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description. 2m2 + 3 = m double root real and
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The roots of the equation 2m²+3=m are non-real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

2m²+3=m

2m²-m+3=0

Here, from the equation we can obtain the following values:

a = 2, b = -1, c = 3

Discriminant of an equation is given as:

D = b²-4ac

= (-1)²-4(2)(3)

= 1 - 21

= -20

Discriminant can tell what kinds of roots the equation have.

In our case, the discriminant is less than 0.

When D < 0, the roots of the equation are complex conjugates.(non-real)

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute n for 10, 11 and 13

45 - 10 = 35

45 - 11 = 34

45 - 12 = 33

The answer is ten because when substituting n for 10, the equation

35 = 45 - 10

is true
