Ax^2 +Bxc=0

Simplify the equation by subtracting everything to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation and combining like terms.

x^2-12x+0=-20

x^2-12x+0+20=0

x^2-12x+20=0

The Quadratic formula provides the solution for Ax^2 +Bxc=0, in which A, B, and C are numbers (or coefficients), as follows:

The coefficients of our equation, x^2-12x+20=0, are:

A = 1

B = -12

C = 20

Simplify 64 by finding its prime factors.

We first calculate the expressions inside the parentheses from left to right and from inner to outer.

x=12-8/2

x=4/2

x=2

the answer to the expression is 83

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3
