    Default Help Maths THanks + Rep to all that help

    solve each of these equations 1. 6x(squared) + x -12 = 0 b ) x(x-5)=84 c) (3x-4)(x-4)=-5
    F) 5t(squared = 11t + 7 ( to 1dp)


    7: solve 15x - 8 (3x-7) > 4-6 (5-3x)

    9 : on the sea front at troon the beach slopes down at a constant angole of 9
    to the horizontal murdo is 1.7 m tall how far can he walk out to sea before the water jsut reaches the top of his head

    10 sarah rides 300 up a hill and finds she has gained 200m in altitude
    Calculate the angle the hill makes with the horizontal.


    thanks all

    1. I have no idea what you what done.

    2. 15x - 24x-56 > 4-30-18x
    2.1 9x = 30
    2.2 x > 30/9

    I think thats right

    I am not doing others, im busy


    I'm here and there :8

    7: solve 15x - 8 (3x-7) > 4-6 (5-3x)

    18x - 15 > 3 - 3x


    I think...

    I think...
    7. You'd have to take the 3 over

    21x > 18

    x > 18/21

    ____________________________
    6x(squared) + x -12 = 0
    I think you need to find x = but i cant get it to work :S

    ____________________________
    5t(squared = 11t + 7= 5t(Square) - 11t - 7 = 0
    a= 5 b = -11 c = -7

    You need to use the formulae

    -b +- Square root of b(squared) - 4ac
    2a
    So

    11 +- Square root of -11(squared) - 4*5*-7
    2*5

    So

    11 +- square root(261)
    10


    So
    11 +- 16.155494 / 10

    x = 2.7155494 OR x= -0.5155494

    So to 1DP

    X = 2.7 or x = -0.5

    oh yer, i forgot about that

    b ) x(x-5)=84

    x(squared) -5x -84 = 0

    then factorise (cant get it to work :S)

    _________________________________
    (3x-4)(x-4)=-5

    3x(squared) - 12x - 4x + 16 + 5 = 0
    3x(squared) - 16x + 21 = 0

    then factorise

    Just put down B and say you thought it was multiple choice.
    1. Jeremy 1129 up, 295 downA named based on the biblical name Jeremiah. Used as a name for children who are blessed with a large brain and/or penis. Also used as a replacement for "perfect".
    We had a child and it had a very large penis so we named it Jeremy.
