The subway car passes through 48 stations in 2hours

It is given that a subway car passes 4 stations every 10 mins.

Subway car is being referred to the metro system of New York city

It is known to us that an hour has 60 mins

We are given that subway car passes 4 stations every 10 mins

Therefore number of stations passed by subway car in 1 hour

= 60/10 x 4 = 24 stations

We are required to find the number of stations crossed by subway car in 2 hours

Therefore, number of stations crossed by subway car in 2 hours= 24 x 2

= 48 stations

Therefore, the subway car passes 48 stations in 2 hours

X^2 + 32x + 256 = 1<br>please show steps

$\boxed{x_{1}=-15} \\ \\ \boxed{x_{2}=-17}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this case, we have the following equation:

$x^2+32x+256=1$

But we can write this equation as:

$x^2+32x+256=1 \\ \\ Subtract \ -1 \ from\ both \ sides: \\ \\ x^2+32x+256-1=1-1 \\ \\ x^2+32x+255=0$

So this final result is a quadratic equation written in Standard Form ( $ax^2+bx+c=0$ ). We need to find the solutions to this equations, so let's use quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ a=1 \\ b=32 \\ c=255 \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{-32 \pm \sqrt{(32)^2-4(1)(255)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ x=\frac{-32 \pm \sqrt{1024-1020}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{-32 \pm \sqrt{4}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{-32 \pm 2}{2} \\ \\ Finally, \ two \ solutions: \\ \\ \boxed{x_{1}=-15} \\ \\ \boxed{x_{2}=-17}$
