Complete the square to the problem X^2+6x-16=0

marishachu [46]

Answer:

<h2>x = -8 or x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\-------------------------------\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\qquad\text{add 16 to both sides}\\\\x^2+6x=16\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=16\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=16+3^2\\\\(x+3)^2=16+9\\\\(x+3)^2=25\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{25}\\\\x+3=-5\ \vee\ x+3=5\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{x=-8\ \vee\ x=2}$

C=wtc/1000 solve for w

Nutka1998 [239]

For this case we have the following equation:
$C = \frac{wtc}{1000}$
To clear w, we must follow the following steps:
1) The value of t multiplied by c pass to divide the other side of the equation:
$\frac{w}{1000} = \frac{C}{tc}$
2) the value of 1000 is passed to multiply to the other side of the equation:
$w = \frac{1000C}{tc}$
Answer:
The cleared equation for w is:
$w = \frac{1000C}{tc}$

56 is 80 percent of what number

monitta

Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
(80/100) * x = 56
4x/5 = 56
4x = 56 * 5
4x = 280
x = 280/4
= 70
The value of the unknown number is 70. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside. Only thing that needs to be taken care of is the calculation part.

I need help<br> With this plz

Answer:

The discount is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the ratios of both discounts.

41/50 = 61.5/75

If the question is True, this means that the ratios should be the same. So we have to cross multiply to find the answer.

75*41 = 50*61.5 = 3075

These two multiplication problems both equal 3075. Since the ratios are equal, the discounts are also equal.
