OpenStudy (mathmale):

@chrisvillasmil: Please show what you have done so far, up to the point where you "got lost." What kind of help do you need to progress beyond that point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt know what to do after i got to 26x^2 + 20x + 4 = 40000

OpenStudy (mathmale):

First, please square both sides of y as 5x + 2 and show your result, below.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just use the quadratic formula and plug in the values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(25x^2 + 20x + 4) + x^2 = 40000

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Much better! Plesae now remove the parentheses and combine like terms. Move that 40000 from the right side to the left side of your equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the quadratic formula??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40000 = 26x^2 + 20x + 4
