Answer: The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation: Add the coefficient of x to the both sides.

X²+4x=12

X²+4x+4=12+4

X²+4x+4=16

X²+2x+2x+4=16

X(x+2)+2(x+2)=16

(X+2)(x+2)=16

(X+2)²=16

Explain why estimation is an important skill to know when adding and subtracting decimals.

Alla [95]

Estimation is a important skill to know when adding and subtracting decimals because if you estimate you have an idea on what your answer should be close to.

For example 4.68-2.38 could be 5-2 which is 3. 4.68-2.38 equals 2.3. 2.3 is close to 3.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Future Value= $5,886.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment (PV)= $5,425

Number of periods (n)= 1 year

Interest rate (i)= 8.5% = 0.085

<u>To calculate the future value after one year, we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 5,425*(1.085^1)

FV= $5,886.13

Crawling Crayfish!

boyakko [2]

Answer: Crayfish, 25 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The length of race is 60 cm

Flicker gets a 10 cm head-start

Cray fish covers 6 cm in 5 s i.e. its speed is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{5}=1.2\ cm/s$

Flicker covers 4 cm in 5 s, its speed is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{5}=0.8\ cm/s$

Time taken by Cray fish to cover the race is

$\Rightarrow t_1=\dfrac{60}{1.2}\\\\\Rightarrow t_1=50\ s$

Time taken by flicker to cover race with 10 cm head start

$\Rightarrow t_2=\dfrac{60-10}{0.8}\\\\\Rightarrow t_2=62.5\ s$

Time taken by crayfish is less. Hence, crayfish wins the race

When they both covers the same distance, they tied momentarily i.e.

$\Rightarrow 1.2t=10+0.8t\\\Rightarrow 0.4t=10\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{10}{0.4}\\\\\Rightarrow t=25\ s$

After 25 s, they tied the race.
