To solve the equation using complete square method we proceed:
z^2-19z=66
but
c=(-b/2a)^2
c=(-19/2)^2
c=361/4
thus:
z^2-19z+361/4=66+361/4
factoring the LHS we get:
1/4(2z-19)^2=625/4
(2z-19)^2=625
getting the square root of both sides we get:
2z-19=+/-25
2z=+/-25+19
2z=44 or -6
z=22 or -3
Answer: z=22 or z=-3
45% is the answer, since u have to multiply the 3% by 15
Plug them in... -4=x -5=y
-3x-4+-6=6 (check)
-3x-4=12-6=6 (ordered pair works with this equation)
-2x-4+-6=-8 (check)
-2x-4=8-6=2 (ordered pair does not work with this equation)
Therefore the ordered pair IS NOT the solution.
Hope this helps :)
4,875 in expanded form is 4,000 + 800 +70 + 5 = 4,875
