Answer:
[tex]x=-\frac{11}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
8x2=6x=5
16+6x=5
6x=5-16
6x=-11
[tex]x=-\frac{11}{6}[/tex]
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8x^2+6x=5[/tex]
Reformat this so the equation equals zero:
[tex]8x^2+6x-5=0[/tex]
[tex]a=8, b=6, c=-5[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-(6)\pm\sqrt{(6)^2-4(8)(-5)} }{2(8)}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{36+160} }{16}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{196} }{16}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-6\pm14 }{16}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-6+14}{16}=8/16=1/2[/tex] or
[tex]x=\frac{-6-14}{16}=-20/16=-5/4[/tex]
