solve for variable. round to ten-thousandths place

Hello, alostgirl!

Who is assigning these problems? . . . This one is silly!


We have: \(\displaystyle \:40x^2\,+\,95x\,+\,30\:=\:0\)

Divide by 5: \(\displaystyle \:8x^2\,+\,19x\,+\,6\:=\:0\)

Factor: \(\displaystyle \:(x\,+\,2)(8x\,+\,3)\:=\:0\)

Hence: \(\displaystyle \:x\,=\,-\frac{3}{8},\:-2\)


Answers: \(\displaystyle \,-0.3750,\;-2.0000\)
