Nick and june win some money and share it in the ratio 5: 3. nick gets £26 more than june. how much did june get?

The difference between the ratio 5:3 is 2 ( 5-3 = 2)

Nick gets 2 extra shares which is equal to £26

1 share = 26 / 2 = 13

June gets 3 shares: 3 x 13 = £39

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
