?? I don’t really get it, what should I do.
We start with

and wish to write it as

First, pull 2 out from the first two terms:

Let’s look at what is in parenthesis. In the final form this needs to be a perfect square. Right now we have

and we can obtain -10x by adding -5x and -5x. That is, we can build the following perfect square:

The “problem” with what we just did is that we added to what was given. Let’s put the expression together. We have

and when we multiply that out it does not give us what we started with. It gives us

So you see our expression is not right. It should have a -53 but instead has a -3. So to correct it we need to subtract another 50.
We do this as follows:

which gives us the final expression we seek:

If you multiply this out you will get the exact expression we were given. This means that:
a = 2
d = -5
e = -103
We are asked for the sum of a, d and e which is 2 + (-5) + (-103) = -106
Answer:
7/165
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a mixed recurring decimal (the zero is not repeating)
We take number after the decimal point 042
then we subtract the non repeating.In this case is 0 so we not subtract anything
This will be the numerator 42
Now ,the denominator:
For each repeating decimal we write a 9 (in this case 2 nines)
For each non repeating decimal we write a zero
Denominator is 990
42/990 = 7/165
7:165 = 0.0424242......
Deandre = x
Kala = x + 6
Eric = 3(x+6)
x + x + 6 + 3(x+6) = 119
2x + 6 + 3x + 18 = 119
5x + 24 = 119
5x = 95, x = 19
Deandre has $19
Kala has 19 + 6 = $25
Eric has 3(25) = $75
Answer:
5 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
So the roulette wheel would have a total of 38 numbers, which means 38 different possible cases. Since you are allowed to bet on 5 numbers, the chance to win this is 5 out of 38 and to lose this is 33 out of 38.
If you win, you get 1 + 6 = 7 dollar, and if you lose, you lose 1 dollar.
Therefore the expected amount out of this game is:

or 5 cents
