Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

moments about the fulcrum should be equal

IF x is the distance of the fulcrum from the 90 lb child

90[x] = 60[12 - x]

90x = 720 - 60x

150x = 720

x = 4.8 ft

90(4.8) = 432 ft•lb

60(12 - 4.8) = 432 ft•lb

How many real-number solutions does the equation have?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Option b. Two solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many real number solutions the equation has we have to solve it

Given equation: -4x² + 10x + 6 = 0

taking 2 common from the equation

2(-2x² + 5x + 3) = 0

-2x² + 5x + 3 = 0

taking minus sign common from the above equation

2x² - 5x - 3 = 0

We will solve this equation by factorization in such a way that the sum of two factors is equal to -5x and the product is -6x²

2x² - 6x + x - 3 = 0

taking common above

2x(x-3) + 1(x-3) = 0

taking (x-3) common

(2x+1)(x-3) = 0

2x + 1 = 0

2x = -1

x = \frac{-1}{2}

x - 3 = 0; x = 3

the solutions are

x=\frac{-1}{2},3

Both values are real numbers, therefore correct option is b
