Complete the SquareSolve for x over the real numbers:(x - 8)^2 - 100 = 0
Add 100 to both sides:(x - 8)^2 = 100
Take the square root of both sides:x - 8 = 10 or x - 8 = -10
Add 8 to both sides:x = 18 or x - 8 = -10
Add 8 to both sides:Answer:  x = 18 or x = -2

Help me plz. I dont understand.
Ahat [919]
For this, you would use simultaneous equations.

w=walnuts
a=almonds

3w+6a=51
5w+4a=55

Find a way to make one of the unknowns equal. since we are trying to work out the price of a pound of walnuts, I am going to make a equal on each side to leave us with w. This leaves us with:

15w+12a=165
6w+12a=102

Then take them away to leave w:

9w=163

Then solve:

w=163/9
= 18.11111111...

Then round it to 2 decimal places as the measurement is currency.

So 1 pound of walnuts equals $18.11
