Answer:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:

x^2 - 10x = -8

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8

x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33

Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8.  Here's the process for completing the square:

1.  Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:

    (1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25

2.  Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the      constant -8:    x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or     x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

3.  Match this result to one of the given possible answers.  Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

15.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent decrease formula =

(Initial value - New value/Initial value) × 100

Initial value = 9200kg

New value = 7739.4kg

Percent decrease = (9200 - 7739.4/9200) × 100

Percent decrease = (1460.6/9200) × 100

Percent decrease = 15.8760869565%

Approximately = 15.9%

The percent of decrease in the amount of strawberries used annually is 15.9%

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer 1a 18 1b 36 1c 648

1a : if you look at the shape you will see its made of squares. I counted the squares, its 18.

1b : one side is 6 in. since its a square all sides are equal. so multiply 6 by 6 to get 36.

1c : this one is easy. We take the number of squares across the surface (18) by the area of each square (36) it is 648.

Also sorry I didn't make this clearer earlier.
