You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your equation is 30 * (p^2 - 1) = 11 * p
\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get:
\n" ); document.write( "30 * p^2 - 30 = 11 * p
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 11 * p from both sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "30 * p^2 - 11 * p - 30 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "factor this quadratic equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "p = 1.2 or p = -.83333333......
\n" ); document.write( "when p = 1.2, the equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "30 * (1.2^2 - 1) = 11 * 1.2
\n" ); document.write( "this results in 13.2 = 13.2 which is true.
\n" ); document.write( "when p = -.83333333......, the equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "30 * ((-.83333333......)^2 - 1) = 11 * (-.83333333......)
\n" ); document.write( "this results in -9.1666666666...... = -9.1666666666...... which is true.
\n" ); document.write( "solution is confirmed to be good.
\n" ); document.write( "your values for p are:
\n" ); document.write( "p = 1.2 or p = -.83333333......\r
