Step-by-step explanation:
6.5 / 0.5
= 6.5 / (1/2)
= 6.5 * (2/1)
= 13.
Since 13 is unequal to 3.25,
we conclude 6.5 / 0.5 = 3.25 is false.
With the facts you got here, you can make the following equation:
x*(x+2)=24
x^2+2x=24
x^2+2x-24=0
Then you can use the following formula (which you might have seen before):
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
where
ax^2+bx+c=0
(-2 +/- sqrt(4+96))/2
(-2 +/- 10)/2
x_1 = 4
x_2 = -6

Answer:
x = 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x = -35
x = -35 / -5 = 7.
Answer:
Positive discriminant = 2 real solution
x= -5,-40
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is used to see how many solutions an equation has. If it is negative, the equation has no real solutions, if =0 the equation has 1, and if it is positive, the equation has two real solutions.
The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula inside the square root:
Every quadratic formula has the structure:
So first, in order to meet this structure we need to add 200 to both sides so the equation is equal to 0. This gives us:
Our a=1, b=45 and c=200
Now we can substitute these values into the discriminant:
Solve:
The discriminant is a positive number which means this equation will have 2 real solution. Now we just need to plug in our values into the quadratic formula to solve this equation. Quadratic formula:
(Same discriminant value)
Now to find the two solutions, we use both signs in the equation. Solution 1:
Our first solution is -5, now for the second:
The two solution to this equation are -5 and -40.
Hope this helped!
