Answer:
x = 4 ±√26
Step-by-step explanation:
Please write this as x^2 - 8x = 10, or x^2 - 8x - 10 = 0. " ^ " indicates exponentiation.
Let's complete the square:
x^2 - 8 x can be rewritten as
x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16, and so
x^2 - 8x = 10 becomes x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16 - 10 = 0, or
(x - 4)^2 = 26
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
x - 4 = ±√26, or
x = 4 ±√26
Answer:
It is A and I am positive its A
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
I do not understand .____.
X+y=11
x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y
sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3
sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8
the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
