Question

D = b^2 -4ac solve for a 2/3 (x-18y) = 6y solve for x

Answer 1

a =
`(b^2-d)/(4c)`

x = 27y

Explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Question 1

Step 1: Write out discriminant

d = b² - 4ac

Step 2: Subtract b² on both sides

d - b² = -4ac

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1

b² - d = 4ac

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4c

a =
`(b^2-d)/(4c)`

Question 2

Step 1: Write out equation

2/3(x - 18y) = 6y

Step 2: Distribute parenthesis

2/3x - 12y = 6y

Step 3: Isolate x by adding 12y on both sides

2/3x = 18y

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2/3

x = 27y
