How do you solve a linear equation using the symbolic method?
you cant
Solve this equation using addition method 4a subtract 5b equals 7 and 4a plus 5b equals 17?
Add the equations: 4a + 4a - 5b + 5b = 7 + 17 ie 8a = 24 a = 3, so b = 1
Solve a2 plus 30a plus 56 equals 0?
a2+30a+56=0 , solve for a Using the quadratic formula, you will find that: a=-2 , a=-28
How do you solve an or problem if a variable is unrestricted in sign?
Solve the problem using the + sign for the variable. Then solve the problem using the - sign for the variable. Report your answer as the answer that you got using + or the answer that you got using -.
Can you solve a quadratic equation without factoring?
using the quadratic formula or the graphics calculator. Yes, you can do it another way, by using a new method, called Diagonal Sum Method, that can quickly and directly give the 2 roots, without having to factor the equation. This method is fast, convenient and is applicable to any quadratic equation in standard form ax^2 +bx + c = 0, whenever it can be factored. It requires fewer permutations than the factoring method does, especially when the constants a, b, and c are large numbers. If this method fails to get answer, then consequently, the quadratic formula must be used to solve the given equation. It is a trial-and-error method, same as the factoring method, that usually takes fewer than 3 trials to solve any quadratic equation.
