X= 4 + \sqrt{73}

x= 4 - \sqrt{73}

we have

(x-12)(x+4)=9\\ x^{2} +4x-12x-48=9\\ x^{2} -8x-48=9

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

x^{2} -8x=9+48\\ x^{2} -8x=57

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} -8x+16=57+16\\ x^{2} -8x+16=73

Rewrite as perfect squares

x^{2} -8x+16=73\\ (x-4)^{2} =73\\ (x-4)=(+/-)\sqrt{73}

x1=4+\sqrt{73} \\ x2=4-\sqrt{73}

therefore

the answer is

x1=4+\sqrt{73} \\ x2=4-\sqrt{73}

A fuel tank contains 1 3/4 gallons of gasoline. Casey adds 33 1/3 gallons of gasoline to the tank. How many gallons of gas does
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

35 1/12 gallons of gasoline

Step-by-step explanation:

so what you're going to do is take both of the fractions (3/4 and 1/3) and convert them into two fractions with the same denominator so you can add them easily. the closest number that you can convert them to would be a denominator of 12, so we would turn 3/4 into its equivalent of 9/12 and 1/3 would now be 4/12. now we add them and get 13/12, which is an improper fraction, so we would change that to 1 and 1/12. and finally, we add 1 1/12 + 1 + 33 and we would get 35 and 1/12 as our final answer :)

Seth bought a 12 - ounce jar of peanut butter for $3.60. What is the unit price?
allochka39001 [22]

Since the jar is 12 ounces, we want to find the price when it is one ounce. We do this by dividing the price, $3.60, by 12:

3.60/12 = 0.3

So, the answer is $0.30/oz, or (B).
