Option a. 1/4 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

$x^2+x$

Here

we know that

a = x

In order to find the number which should be added

comparing with the formula

$(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2$

$2ab = x\\2.x.b = x\\b=\frac{x}{2x}\\b = \frac{1}{2}$

So, we will add the square of 1/2 which is 1/4

Hence,

Option a. 1/4 is the right answer

Adrian has a points card for a movie theater.

ANEK [815]

Answer: v ≥ 6

This means that Adrian needs to do at least 6 visits.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that he gets 20 points just for signing up, so he starts with 20 points.

Now, if he makes v visits, knowing that he gets 2.5 points per visit, he will have a total of:

20 + 2.5*v

points.

And he needs to get at least 35 points, then the total number of points must be such that:

points ≥ 35

and we know that:

points = 20 + 2.5*v

then we have the inequality:

20 + 2.5*v ≥ 35

Now we can solve this for v, so we need to isolate v in one side of the equation:

2.5*v ≥ 35 - 20 = 15

2.5*v ≥ 15

v ≥ 15/2.5 = 6

v ≥ 6

So he needs to make at least 6 visits.

John ran 6 2/3 miles last week he ran 1 1/3 miles each day how many days did he run

Murljashka [212]

$6\frac{2}{3} = \frac{3(6) + 2}{3} = \frac{20}{3} miles$

$1\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3(1) + 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} miles/day$

$\frac{20}{3} miles$ ÷ $\frac{4}{3} miles/day$

= $\frac{20(miles)}{3}$ * $\frac{3(days)}{4 (miles)}$

= $\frac{20(3) days}{3(4)} = \frac{20 days}{4} = 5 days$

Answer: 5 days
