help please anybody @ganeshie8 please solve it

OpenStudy (usman1995):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}/2a\] the 2a is under the whole equation not just the last part

OpenStudy (usman1995):

hurry up please

OpenStudy (usman1995):

no this eq can't help me ,, this question is way more than that ,, quadratic equation cant help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the resulting equations you get will be \[\alpha = some-function-of-a \] and \[\beta = some-other-function-of-a\] then you can equate the two equations to find a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the two equations and the \[2*\alpha-\beta=7\] that they give you. Combine them to find 'a'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just don't mix up the a in the quadratic equation with the 'a' that you are trying to find. Wasn't great of them to use the letter 'a' for the unknown

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

@aa123 Do not post your question in somebody elses.

OpenStudy (usman1995):

@Dom89 u don't even know what this Question is about,, seriously it can't b solved by quadretic equation

OpenStudy (usman1995):

yeah @YanaSidlinskiy thats right

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If the roots of the equation are \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\), then the equation is: \((x - \alpha)(x - \beta) = 0 \) \(x^2 - \beta x - \alpha x + \alpha \beta = 0 \) \(x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0\) You are given \(x^2 - 3x + a = 0\) That means \(\alpha + \beta = -3 \) You are also given \(2\alpha - \beta = 0\) You have two equations and two variables. Solve the system of equations for \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). Once you know those values, substitute them in \((x - \alpha)(x - \beta) = 0 \). Then multiply it out to find a.

OpenStudy (usman1995):

thanks ,, alpha +beta is not -3 it's 3 but so much thanks it gave me right way to solve ,, thanks

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good point. Thanks for pointing that out.
