Answer:
a = 36 , b = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
expand the right side using FOIL and compare coefficients with like terms on left side.
(x - b)²
= x² - 2bx + b² , compare to x² - 12x + a , then
- 2b = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
b = 6
and a = b² = 6² = 36
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>To solve quadratic systems,we always substitute one variable in terms if the other and then solve the equation.</u>
x + 2y = 6 ---------------(1)
y - 5 =
---------------(2)
y =
+ 5 ---------------(3)
Substitute (3) in (1) ,
x + 2(
+ 5 ) = 6
=
x + 2(
+ 5 ) = 6
--------------(4)
The roots of the quadratic equation
is
x =
-----------(5)
According to equation (5),solution of (4) is
x = 
x = 
x = 
Answer:
3s + 7.99 = 71.83
Step-by-step explanation:
Yeah, algebra sure confused me the first time I took it. I had a much more patient and engaging teacher the second time!
How would we find out in real life how much each shirt cost? We'd subtract 7.99 from 71.83 and divide the difference by 3, right??
Let's work that backward. Let's say a shirt cost $6. Three would cost $3(6), or $18. Since each shirt costs $s, our price for 3 shirts is $3s. We have to add shipping to get a total, which we are given. When writing an equation, we leave out labels like $ or meters or books or whatever.
