I tried to do a substitution with 2 equations but i got a really horrible quadratic with massive numbers and of course it didn't factorise but when i came to use the formula on it, it turned out the formula didn't work anyway.


How am i supposed to approach this question? The second part finding K and r

Given the answers are to 1 dec.pl, I wouldn't expect the quadratic to factorise.

I think it's just a case of ploughing through with the formula - which did work when I tried. I wasn't being careful, and there may be an error. I ended up with

$15r^2-110r+104=0$

Arithmetic slip somewhere?

man i get $24r^2 -310 +351$

but nvm it's ok forget this one for now, i'll let it rest
