There are 234 seventh grade students at Washington Middle School. All seventh grade students are required first semester to enroll in either P. E. or Health. No
students take both P. E. and Health. The number of students enrolled in P. E. 16
fewer than four times the number enrolled in Health. Determine the number of
students that are enrolled in P. E. and the number of students enrolled in Health. *

answer: 177/8

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
