anonymous · Answer

solve the qudratic
5x^2-20x-5=0

anonymous · Answer

x will have two solutions

radar · Answer

Were you able to get it to a quadratic form?

anonymous · Answer

5x^2-20x-5=0 is in the quadratic form, 

I need to factor 20x?

anonymous · Answer

just divide through by 5,and then solve the qudratic
x^2-4x-1=0

anonymous · Answer

ans==>x=2-root5
             x=2+root5

radar · Answer

Take the left part (left of the equal sign) and add using the LCD of 5x
2x + 3          x+5
------- =   -----              now cross multiply
      5x             10
20x + 30 = 5x^2 +25x      Consolidate 
$$5x ^{2}+5x-30=0$$  Divide thru by 5 getting
$$x ^{2}+x-6=0$$
Do you know how to solve the quadratic?

radar · Answer

Hint, it factors easily.  Good luck

anonymous · Answer

sorry bro resolved the problem,turned out to be
5x^2+5x-30=0
then divide through by 5 to get it in radar's form....radar is right

anonymous · Answer
