Question

Solve for xEnter the solutions from least to greatest.5x^2 +3 = 83lesser x =greater x =

Answer 1

Consider the given equation,

`5x^2+3=83`

Transposing the terms,

`\begin{gathered} 5x^2=83-3 \\ 5x^2=80 \\ x^2=(80)/(5) \\ x^2=16 \\ x=\sqrt[]{16} \\ x=\pm4 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the lesser solution is - 4, and the greater solution is 4 .
