Answer:

  5x^2 +10x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will have one solution when the discriminant is zero.

In standard form, the equation is ...

  ax^2 +10x -c = 0

The discriminant of the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 is  ...

  b^2 -4ac

so the discriminant of your equation is ...

  10^2 -4a(-c) = 100 +4ac

We want that to be zero, so we require ...

  100 +4ac = 0

  25 +ac = 0

  ac = -25

Any pair of values of 'a' and 'c' that have a product of -25 will satisfy the requirement. As you state, one possible pair is a = 5 and c = -5. Putting these values into the given equation makes it ...

  5x^2 +10x = -5 . . . . . the equation with a=5, c=-5

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Your problem statement does not require that 'a' be non-zero. If <em>a=0</em>, then the equation will have one real solution for <em>any value of c</em>.

If you restrict the solutions to integers, then possibilities include ...

  (a, c) = (1, -25), (5, -5), (25, -1), (-25, 1), (-5, 5), (-1, 25)

Complete the statements to find the measurements of angle a and angle b ​
a_sh-v [17]
The measurement of angle a plus 120 must equal to 180 ( as angles on a straight line must equal to 180)
So measurement of angle a is 60 degrees
Measurement of angle b plus 60 plus 60 must equal to 180
So measurement of angle b is 60
