Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = Carter's height

Let a = Angela's height

c = a + 5

If they were both the same height, the equation would be

c = a, but Angela needs 5 more inches to equal Carter, so it takes Angela's height plus 5 more inches to equal Carter's height.

Samuel made a list of his test scores: 88, 100, 92, 80, 85, 94, and 90. What is the lowest test score he can get on his next tes

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

he needs to get a 91 to have a mean score of 90

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all the known scores to get 629

let 's' = lowest test score

(629 + s) ÷ 8 = 90 [we divide by 8 because there are 7 known and 1 unknown score)

cross-multiply to get:

629 + s = 720

s = 720-629

s = 91

Solve x2 - 8x = 3 by completing the square. Which is the solution set

Simora [160]

Answer:

4\pm\sqrt{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

Move everything to left side

$x^{2} -8x -3 =0$

Now to solve this square equation we need to find Descriminant

$D=b^{2} -4ac=64+12=76$

As Descriminant D is greater than 0 then we have 2 solutions which we can calculate by this formula

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a} =\frac{8\pm2\sqrt{19}}{2}=4\pm\sqrt{19}$
