Hi! Since it is asking for the total, you must add!
145+217=?
Completing the square is a process to find the solutions, or the x-values, to a quadratic equation. This method can only work if it is in the format: x^2 + bx = c
In this equation, the b value is -12 and the c value is -6. The process for completing the square goes like this:
x^2 + bx + (b/2)^2 = c + (b/2)^2
Now let’s solve the equation above using this method.
Step 1: x^2 - 12x + (-12/2)^2 = -6 + (-12/2)^2
Step 2: x^2 - 12x + (-6)^2 = -6 + (-6)^2
Step 3: x^2 - 12x + 36 = -6 + 36
Step 4: x^2 - 12x + 36 = 30
Now, to factor it. After doing the process until now, the left side of the equation can ALWAYS be in the format: (x + a)^2
Step 5: x^2 - 12x + 36 can be factored in this format as (x - 6)^2
Step 6: (x - 6)^2 = 30
Step 7: x - 6 = √30
Step 8: x = 6 ±√30
Answer:
He bought 6 chairs and 10 tables.
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 16
he spent = $1800
1 chair = $50
y chairs = $50y
1 table = $150
x chairs = $150x
so, 150x+50y = 1800
we got two equations :
x+ y = 16
150x+50y = 1800
Using. substitution method,
x+y = 16
so, x = 16-y
Now
150x+50y =1800
or, 150(16-y) + 50y = 1800
or, 2400-150y+50y = 1800
or, 2400-1800 = 150y-50y
or, 600=100y
so, y = 6
now,
x+y = 16
or, x + 6 = 16
so, x = 10
100 is the answer (100x 2 = 200)
