14 x 4 = 56
Jonia needs 56 tablets to fill Mr. Robinson’s prescription.
2x^2+20x=-38 divide both sides by 2
x^2+10x=-19, halve the linear coefficient, square it, than add that value to both sides of the equation, in this case add (10/2)^2=25...
x^2+10x+25=6 now the left side is a perfect square
(x+5)^2=6 take the square root of both sides
x+5=±√6 subtract 5 from both sides
x=-5±√6 (so answer c.)
It depends. If it's .5 or above, round up.
If it's .4, round down
A. Multiplied by 2 for the first then for the second multiply by three.
Explanation: the equations already have opposite signs for y so reversing the signs would be counterproductive. (Eliminates B and D) and the easiest way is to get the numbers before the Y variable to be the same. The top by 2 and bottom by 3 would do that, leaving only A.
