Combining like terms in a quadratic simplify -11x^2 - 3x - 7x^2 + 9 + 8x ! and a few others!

The sum of two numbers is 86, and their difference is 20. find the two numbers

Me solve this problem, and someone clearly explain to me how to solve it.1.) use the value of the discriminant to determine if the given trinomials has 2 real solutions, 1 real solution, or no real solutions.a.  x2  − 4x  − 7 = 0b. 4r2  + 11r  − 3 = 0c. 3m2  + 7 = 0d.  t2  + 2t  + 1 = 0

You are standing next to a really big circular lake. you want to measure the diameter of the lake, but you don't want to have to swim across with a measuring tape! you decide to walk around the perimeter of the lake and measure its circumference, and find that it's 400\pi\text{ m}400? m. what is the diameter dd of the lake?
