- Exercises 105-120: Complete the following. (a) Write the equation as ax² + bx + e = 0 with a > 0. (b) Calculate the discriminant b² – 4ac and determine the number of real solutions. (c) Solve the equation. 105. 3x² = 12 106. 8x - 2 = 14 107. x² – 2x = -1 108. 6x² = 4x 109. 4x = x? 110. 16x + 9 = 24x 111. x² + 1 = x 112. 2x² + x = 2 113. 2x² + 3x = 12 – 2x 114. 3x² + 3 = 5x 115. x(x – 4) = -4 116. + 3x = x – 4 117. x(x + 2) = -13 118. 4x = 6 + x? 119. 3x = 1- x 120. x(5x – 3) = 1arrow_forwardPlease help me solve this.
