Answer:
Practice -- lots of it
Step-by-step explanation:
I usually choose a solution method that I believe will find the desired answer for me in the least number of simple steps. What constitutes a "simple" step depends on a number of things:
the given information and/or the given form of the equationfamiliarity with all of the different solution processesfamiliarity with arithmetic facts (multiplication tables, squares)familiarity with quadratic forms: difference of squares, perfect square binomials, product of binomials, vertex formavailability of a graphing calculatorwhether an approximation will serve the purpose.__
I often choose a graphing calculator as my first approach to solving a quadratic. It easily shows the roots, and can show the vertex. (Sometimes, scaling the graph is required, so I actually prefer to use a touch-screen for the purpose. It is easier to "pinch" than to type in possible graph limits by trial and error.) The answer is generally provided to 3 or 4 significant figures, which is usually enough to tell if the solution is rational or irrational.
The easiest way to describe an integer (or rational) solution to someone else (on Brainly, for example) is usually to show the factoring of the quadratic. Finding the roots with a graphing calculator significantly aids the factoring process. (It is much easier to "find" the solution if you know the solution before you start looking.)
__
As we said at the beginning, the answer to your question is "practice." Many curricula try to offer opportunities to practice. I find most of these pretty annoying. What I suggest is that you find your own internal motivation to practice solving different kinds of quadratics in several different ways. That is, solve the same quadratic by ...
using the formulacompleting the squarefactoringgraphing (with a graphing calculator)scaling and/or translation and/or transformation*It might take you a couple of hours of work to learn the best way to solve an equation in under 5 minutes.
In this process, you will discover what you need to know to choose a method that works nicely for you. I believe you will find that total familiarity with arithmetic facts (sums, products, squares) and operations on all the different ways to represent numbers (integer, decimal, fraction, percent, scientific notation) will help you significantly.

Some "area" problems give you the difference of dimensions (length and width), and ask you to find the dimensions that give a specific area. This can be solved by (x)(x -d) = A. If you don't immediately recognize factors of A that differ by d, then you might have to resort to the quadratic formula to solve this.
Another approach is to let the variable represent the average dimension. Then the equation becomes (x -d/2)(x +d/2) = A, which is a "difference of squares" form that is much more easily solved. The solution for x is √(A +(d/2)²), and all you have to do is add and subtract d/2 from that solution to find the dimensions. This is an example of what I mean by transforming the problem.

Use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. â€""3x 8y = 16 3x 4y = 8 What is the value of x? â€""1 0 1 2.
The value of x from the system of equation is 0
Given the systems of equation
–3x + 8y = 16
3x + 4y = 8
Using the elimination method.
Add both equations
-3x + 3x + 8y + 4y = 16 + 8
12y = 24
y = 24/12
y = 2
Substitute y = 2 into equation 2:
3x + 4y = 8
3x + 4(2) = 8
3x = 8 - 8
3x = 0
x = 0
Hence the value of x from the system of equation is 0.

1 4/8 in a improper fraction?
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Multiply the whole number part (1) by the denominator (8).
1 × 8 = 8
Step 2: Add the product from Step 1 (8) to the numerator (4).
8 + 4 = 12
Step 3: Write that result (12) above the denominator. So,
[tex]\frac4{8}{1}[/tex]
Step 4: The fraction [tex]\frac{12}{8}[/tex]
Can be reduced by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD(12,8) = 4. Thus,
[tex]\frac1{4}{8} =\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Gas grills are on sale 20% off. The sale price of the grill that I like is $399.20. What was the original price of the grill?
Answer:
499
Ste-by-step explanation
80 percent of the original price is left.
If you divide by 4 you get 99.8 which is 20% of the original price. Then if you multiply 99.8 by 5 you will get 100% of the original price which is 499
You can also do 399.2 * 1.25 = 499
Francisco sold 9 rolls of wrapping paper for a band fundraiser earning the band $22.50. Sharon sold 16 rolls of wrapping paper and earned $40.00 for the band. If this relationship is graphed with the number of rolls sold on the x-axis and the money earned on the y-axis, what is the slope of the graph in dollars per roll?
A. 1.25
B. 2.50
C. 3.75
D. 5.00
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
If the relationship is graphed with the number of rolls sold on the x-axis and the money earned on the y-axis
Then the two points on that line will be (14,17.50) and (16,20)
We know that the slope of a lien with points is give by:-
Hence, the slope of the graph with points (14,17.50) and (16,20) is given by :-
Therefore, the slope of the graph = 1.25 dollars per roll.

Julia went into a movie theater and bought 2 bags of popcorn and 5 pretzels, costing a total of $37.25. Zoe went into the same movie theater and bough 8 bags of popcorn and 9 pretzels, costing a total of $102.25. Write and solve a system of equations to determine the price of each bag of popcorn and the price of each pretzel.
Taking into account the definition of a system of linear equations, the price of each bag of popcorn is $8 and the price of each pretzel is $4.25.
A system of linear equations is a set of two or more equations of the first degree, in which two or more unknowns are related.
Solving a system of equations consists of finding the value of each unknown so that all the equations of the system are satisfied. That is, the values of the unknowns must be sought, with which when replacing, they must give the solution proposed in both equations.
In this case, a system of linear equations must be proposed taking into account that:
x: price of each bag of popcorn. y: the price of each pretzel.On one hand, Julia went into a movie theater and bought 2 bags of popcorn and 5 pretzels, costing a total of $37.25. This is expressed by 2x+5y= 37.25
Zoe went into the same movie theater and bough 8 bags of popcorn and 9 pretzels, costing a total of $102.25. This is expressed by 8x+9y=102.25
So, the system of equations to solve is:
[tex]\left \{ {{2x+5y=37.25} \atop {8x+9y=102.25}} \right.[/tex]
There are various methods to solve a system of equations, it is decided to solve by the substitution method, which consists of solving one of the two variables in one of the equations of the system and substituting its value in the other equation.
So, isolating the variable x from the first equation:
2x+5y= 37.25
2x= 37.25 - 5y
x= (37.25 - 5y)÷2
x= 18.625 - [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]y
Replacing in the second equation:
8×(18.625 - [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]y)+9y=102.25
Solving:
8×18.625 - 8×[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]y+9y=102.25
149 - 20y + 9y=102.25
149 -11y= 102.25
-11y= 102.25-149
-11y= -46.75
y= (-46.75)÷ (-11)
y= 4.25
Finally, replacing in x= 18.625 - [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]y and solving you get:
x= 18.625 - [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]×4.25
x= 18.625 - 10.625
x=8
Remembering that x represents the price of each bag of popcorn and y represents the price of each pretzel, you get that the price of each bag of popcorn is $8 and the price of each pretzel is $4.25.

Answer:
an = 22 -6(n -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term of the sequence is given as a1 = 22. The general term of an arithmetic sequence is ...
an = a1 +d(n -1) . . . . n-th term for first term a1 and common difference d
The third term will be ...
a3 = 10 = 22 +d(3 -1)
Then the common difference is ...
10 -22 = 2d
-12/2 = d = -6
__
Putting the known values into the formula for the general term, it becomes ...
an = 22 -6(n -1)
__
This can be simplified to ...
an = 28 -6n
