1936=(2w^2)-3w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0=(2w^2)-3w-1936

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will i factor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your 1936 is wrong. A = b * w and it gives you the A = 44 so you dont need to square it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[44^{2}=(2w-3)(w)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 = 2w^2 - 3w - 44 you can use quadratic equation if you like of x = (-b + or -(b^2 - 4ac)^(1/2) )/2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got it thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it's 44 yards^2 so the 44 is just 44. yards^2 is a unit of area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see thanks
