I think i am working this problem wrong: 6y-5(3y-4)=10, I got the answer of 10/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean I got y=10/9

Roots: 1.869498427, 0.2971682389 Discriminant turns out to be 801. Bit Peculiar. Are you sure that the question is correct? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The RHS should be 0 for a normal answer. if I consider RHS 0, the answers are 4/3 & 5/6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is RHS? i will check the question again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, ur answer is correct, @ Ava

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that is the equation I am asked to solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you Arnab09

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I too get y as 10/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/9 is the wrong answer :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why? @ KDroid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/9 isn't satisfying the equation. :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a linear equation, not quadratic. how do u find 2 roots?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I mistook. I multiplied (6y-5) & (3y-4). My Bad. Oops. 10/9 is correct. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 10/9 is correct.
