Answer:
no solution exists:
Step-by-step explanation:
x²−1x+10=0
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x²−x+10=0
Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.
x²−x+10−10=0−10
x²−x=−10
Step 3: The coefficient of -x is -1. Let b=-1.
Then we need to add (b/2)^2=1/4 to both sides to complete the square.
Add 1/4 to both sides.
x²−x+
1/4=−10+
1/4
x²−x+
1/4=−39
/4
Step 4: Factor left side.
(x -1/2)² = −39
/4
Step 5: Take square root.
x −1
/2 =±√
−39
/4
Step 6: Add 1/2 to both sides.
x =−1/2 + 1/2 = 1/2 ±√
-39/4
x = 1/2 ±√
-39/4
No real solutions.
Answer:
1 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6+3/4=10/12+9/12 = 19/12 or 1 7/12
We can say that x is the largest number.
So the sum is x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) + (x - 4) = -5
Now solve for x:
x + x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 = -5
5x - 10 = -5
5x = 5
x = 1
So the largest number is 1.
Check: 1 + 0 + -1 + -2 + -3 = -2 + -3 = -5 so 1 is correct.
