What is 16 divided by X^2 equals 8 divided by X + 6?

zaharov [31]

Solve: $\frac{16}{x^{2}} = \frac{8}{x + 6}$

$\frac{16}{x^{2}} = \frac{8}{x + 6}$

$\text{Cross multiply: } 16(x + 6) = 8x^{2}$
$\text{Simplify: } 2(x + 6) = x^{2}$
$\text{Expand: } 2x + 12 = x^{2}$

$\text{Solve for x: } x^{2} - 2x - 12 = 0$

$\text{Use the quadratic equation: } x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 48}}{2}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{52}}{2}$
$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{13 \cdot 4}}{2}$

$x = \frac{2 \pm 2\sqrt{13}}{2}$
$\therefore x = 1 \pm \sqrt{13}$

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

75%

36= 100 16= 50% 8= 25%

Lets make percentage = P

(8x x 3x -x ) = ( P x 3x -x) 5 /1/20

= (8 *3) = P x 3 ) x 5 /1/20

reduce = P x 3 x 8 = 24 x 3 x 5 / 1/20

360/24 = 15 x 1/20

5 x 15 = 75%
