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

How much does a cat way on the moon
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Since weight is directly dependent on the acceleration of gravity, things on the Moon will weigh only 16.6% (≈ 1/6) of their weight on Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Being that the moon has a gravitational force of 1.622m/s2, we multiply the object's mass by this quanitity to calculate an object's weight on the moon. So an object or person on the moon would weigh 16.5% its weight on earth. Therefore, a person would be much lighter on the moon.

Your leg has an endpoint of A at the top of your thigh, and endpoint C at your ankle. Imagine the length of your entire leg (fro
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: 25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine that this line is the leg     A______________B________C

                                                                          x                       11

                                                             |___________36____________|

From A to C = 36 inches

From B to C = 11 inches

To find A to B all we have to do is subtract the knee to ankle length (11) from total leg length (36), which 36 - 11 = 25 inches.

42=Wf×64 (what fraction)
Dmitry [639]
So basically 42=x times 64 or 42=64x where you want x to be represented as a fraction so just don't simplify as much

42=64x
divide both sdies by 64
42/64=64/64x
42/64=1x
x=42/64
simplify
42/64=21/32

the answer is 21/32 in simplest form

8(x+2)=56 HELP PLZZ ANYONE<br> Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation.
xenn [34]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 8 (x + 2) = 56                 Distribute the 8

2. 8x + 16 = 56              Subtract 16 from both sides

3. 8x = 40                      Divide both sides by 8

4. x = 5
