math
16+24x-35
16+24x-35 16+-35= 51 51*24= x= 1224 there you go joe
Eve, that is incorrect. We are completing the square, NOT solving for x right now.
The first thing you have to do is get (-35) to the other side of the equation so that it can become our constant (which is c). So we have to add -35 from both sides. \[4x ^{2}+24x~ (+35)=-35~(+35)\] do you understand?
add 35*
yes
so \[4x^2+24x+35=0?\]
yes, correct, that was i was about to write :) Now, we can do this 2 ways, we can factor this out OR you can use the quadratic formula. which do you prefer?
what is the quadratic formula?
oh the little b+ thingy?
yes, personally i think factoring is easier, which do you want to do?
which ever is easy for you to help me.
alright, so first off, do you know how to factor?
no😐
oh, do you at least know the concept? or how to do it? if you dont, here are a few tutorials: https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/factoring-quadratics.html https://www.cuemath.com/algebra/factorization-of-quadratic-equations/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ-NRsWhOGI
well ill just use the quadratic
yea lets do that one instead... Equation: \[x =\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4(a)(c)} }{ 2a }\] you know your a,b, and c values, right?
uh let me see
a=4 b=24 c=35
right?
yes :D
okay now what?
plug in the values and solve... lemme make it a little easy and help... \[x =\frac{ -24 + \sqrt{24 ^{2}-4(4)(35)} }{ 2(4) }\] \[x =\frac{ -24 - \sqrt{24 ^{2}-4(4)(35)} }{ 2(4) }\] basically, you solve for x for each one...
okay I got it now thank you
ok great, what did you get as your final answers?
