Answer:
Okay, so its kinda funny that you ask this question because its on our performance final that's due tomorrow but use elimination.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
or, 10x + 8 = 4(2x + 7)
or, 10x + 8 = 8x + 28
or, 10x - 8x = 28 -8
or, 2x = 20
or, x = 20/2
or, x = 10
x = 10
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) You must add 4 to each side to complete the square.
2) You must add 16 to each side to complete the square.
3) You must add 27 to each side to complete the square.
Explanation:
1) x²-4x=0
To find the number that we add to both sides, we look at b, the cofficient of x. It is -4. We divide it by 2 and square it; -4/2 = -2; (-2)² = 4. This is the value that we add to both sides.
2) x²-8x=6
-8/2 = -4; (-4)²=16
We add 16 to each side to complete the square.
3) 3x²+18x=24
First we can factor a 3 out of the left side:
3(x²+6x) = 24
Our b value is now 6. 6/2 = 3; 3²=9. The 9 would, however, go in the parentheses, so it would be multiplied by 3, which makes 27; this means we would add 27 to both sides.
Answer: The word "ensures" implies that it is certain.
In the case of the study, they simply found that the average salary is greater for college graduates. This doesn't mean that in every case the college graduate makes more money.
The problem is the word "ensures". Our study doesn't show certainty only a general pattern.
