For a real number rr, the quadratics x2+(r−1)x+6x^{2}+(r-1)x+6 and x2+(2r+1)x+22x^{2}+(2r+1)x+22 have a common real root. The sum of the possible values of rr can be expressed as ab\frac{a}{b}, where a,ba, b are relatively prime positive integers. Compute 100a+b100a+b.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
For a real number r, the quadratics x²+(r−1)x+6 and x²+(2r+1)x+22 have a common real root. The sum of the possible values of r can be expressed as (a)/(b), where a,b are relatively prime positive integers. Compute 100a+b.
Original LaTeX notation
For a real number $r$, the quadratics $x^{2}+(r-1)x+6$ and $x^{2}+(2r+1)x+22$ have a common real root. The sum of the possible values of $r$ can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a, b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100a+b$.
