Solve the following numerical expression:
1) 2 (x+3) +3 (5-x)=
Distribute the values of 2 and 3 on the parenthesis and combine like terms.
=2x + 6 + 15 - 3x
= -x + 21
x = 21
2) 3 (y+2) -4y=-24y
Distribute 3 on the values inside the parenthesis and combine like terms.
3y + 6 - 4y = -24y
-y + 6 = -24y
23y + 6 = 0
23y = -6
y = -6/23
3) -(x+2) -2(1-x)= 4
Distribute -2 on the values inside the parenthesis and combine like terms.
= -x -2 -2 + 2x -4
= x -8
x = 8
4) - x +5x + x^2=1
= x^2 + 5x -1
Solve using the quadratic formula
The Quadratic formula:
x = −b ± √(b^2 − 4ac)/2a
is used to solve quadratic equations where a ≠ 0, in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0
When b^2−4ac=0 there is one real root.
When b^2−4ac>0 there are two real roots.
When b^2−4ac<0 there are no real roots, only a complex number.
x = −5 ± √(5^2 − 4(1)(-1))/2(1)
x = −5 ± √(25 + 4)/2
x = −5 ± √(29)/2
x = −5 ± 5.38/2
Solve for ± individually.
x = −5 + 5.38/2
x = .38/2
x = 0.19
x = −5 - 5.38/2
x= -10.38/2
x = -5.19
