Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² = 20

x² - 20 = 0

x² - (√20)² =0

by identity : a² - b² = ( a - b )( a + b) in this exercice : a = x and b =√20

( x - √20)(x + √20) = 0

x - √20 = 0 or x + √20 = 0

x = √20 or x = - √20

but : 20 = 4×5

20 = √(4×5) =√4×√5 = 2√5

Answer:

x = ± 2 $\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² = 20 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{20}$ = ± $\sqrt{4(5)}$ = ± 2 $\sqrt{5}$

58 plus tip of .20

now we add tax (Presuming we son't tax the tip)

58 times 0.07 = 4.06 the tax

so its

58 + 11.6 + 4.06 = $73.66 total cost

(10 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST FOR BEST). Last month Ben spent $380 on food and $420 on personal items.

lions [1.4K]

4000 is his total monthly balance.

420 + 380 = 800

800/4000 = 0.20

0.20 = 20%

He spent 20% of his monthly income on food and personal items.

Of the dogs at the dog show,

Olin [163]

So, let's say that all the dogs had a number of x.

then 1/12 x were the Hound Group dogs.

then, out of the Hound Group,, that is 1/12 x, 3/10 were English Foxhounds.

For this, we need to multiply the fractions:

$\frac{1}{12}x* \frac{3}{10} = \frac{3}{120}x =\frac{1}{40}x$

so of all the dogs at the show, the English Foxhunds were a 1/40 fraction,
