Maybe i typed it wrong xD so c above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Factorise it: \[(5x+4)(x-2)=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac})/2a\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mathematicalpro this is overkill

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ummm (-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac})/2a ... what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok Yes I got that, you wrote it all jacked up any way can you help with the question or how to salve or... no help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh then mathematicalpro is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm Typing forever?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wish i could give -1 good answer xD jk Thanks for trying, I will be done will the test be the time you are done typing soo i am out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where a=5,b=-6 and c=-8 \[(-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2-[4*5*(-8)]})/2(5)\] \[(6\pm \sqrt{36+160})/10\] \[(6\pm \sqrt{196})/10\] \[(6+14)/10=20/10=2\] \[(6-14)/10=-8/10=-4/5\] so,\[2,(-4/5)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
