(?)^2-3(?)=-2 can anyone solve this

x = 1 or x = 2

Sub in x for ?:

x^2-3x = -2 (Move all the terms to one side, and set the equation to equal 0)

x^2-3x+2 = 0 (Factor the simple trinomial by finding two numbers that multiply to 2 and add to -3)

x^2-x-2x+2 = 0 (Factor the expression)

x(x-1)-2(x-1) = 0 (Group like terms)

(x-1)(x-2) = 0 (Solve for x by setting each term equal to 0)

x-1 = 0

x = 1

x-2 = 0

x = 2

∴ x = 1 or x = 2.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
