Here you have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns. An easy way to solve this type is to isolate one of the variables.
12a + 2b = 8
2b = 8 - 12a
b =

b = 4 - 6a
Now plug 4 - 6a into equation 1 to solve for a.
a + 5(4 - 6a) = 19
a + 20 - 30a = 19
-29a = -1
a = 1/29 (answer)
Now plug a into the equation for b
b= 4 - 6(1/29)
b= 110/29 (answer)
Answer: -8.92
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 24.5. Just plug the numbers in
Answer:
x= 2.28
or, x= 0.219
Step-by-step explanation:
2x²-5x+1 =0
a= 2, b= -5 and c= 1
x= (-b <u>+</u> √(b²-4ac))/2a
= (5 <u>+</u> √(25-8))/4
= (5 <u>+</u> √17)/4
