Hi Zac,

 

Thanks for answering these questions :)

 

There is a couple of things here.

 

1) I think it should be       10t2+5t2=0(NOT5t)

 

2) I am not sure what the asker INTENDED the question to be BUT this was the question.

 

1/2+2/5t-1=1/5t+t

 

Technically this should be interpreted as

12+25t1=15t+t12+2t51=1t5+t$Thetisonthetop$12+2t5=6t512=4t51524=tt=58

 

Also, I would like you to consider putting in some blank lines.  

Sometimes mine is spread out too much, I realize that, but I personally find it a bit hard to read when there are no spaces.  This may just be a peronal preference.  I am not sure :/

1.

2×(2×x+3)+6×x9

4×x6+6×x9

2×x15

I'm not sure if it's right, but I ended up with a quadratic by the end. Here goes:

12+2(5×t)1=1(5×t)+t Take the 1/5t off both sides.

12+1(5×t)1=t Multiply everything by 10t.

(10×t)2+(10×t)(5×t)10×t=10×t2 Simplify.

5×t+210×t=10×t2

10×t25×t2=0 Now using the quadratic formula,

t=b+b24ac2a or t=bb24ac2a

a=10, b=-5, c=-2

t=5+524×10×22×10 or t=5+524×10×22×10

t=5+25+8020 or t=525+8020

t=5+10520 or t=510520

which works out to  0.76235 or -0.26235.

P.S. I don't know how to say "plus minus" something.
