N is the number
divided by 6 then n/6
5 was taken away so (n/6)-5
the result is multiplied by 2 so 2((n/6)-5)
result is -12
-12=2((n/6)-5)
divide both sides by 2
-6=(n/6)-5
add 5
-1=n/6
times 6
-6=n
da number was -6
To solve using completing square method we proceed as follows:
x^2-10x+8=0
x^2-10x=-8
but
c=(b/2)^2
c=(10/2)^2=25
thus we can add this in our expression to get
x^2-10x+25=8+25
factorizing the LHS we get:
(x-5)(x-5)=33
(x-5)^2=33
getting the square roots of both sides we have:
x-5=+/-√33
x=5+/-√33
Answer: 0.61
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
expand
simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72
simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42
add 7.5x to both sides
simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72
subtract 72 from both sides
simplify 42 - 72 to -30
divide both sides by 3
simplify 30/3 to 10
Answer: x = -10
