Given:
262 + 3b - 14 =0
Solve with quadratic formula.
Solution:
The given equation cannot be solved by using the quadratic formula since it is not a quadratic equation, hence what we can do to solve b is to simply combine like terms.
= 262 + 3b - 14
= 248 + 3b
transpose 248 to the other side of the equation, hence in transposing a number, the sign changes.
3b = -248
Divide both sides by 3 in order to determine the value of b.
3b/3 = -248/3
b = -82.67
Final answer:
b = -82.67
