The length of atrain car is 50.6 feet. This is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width. What is the width?

1 answer:

5 0

∗ l = 50.6 ft
∗ w = ?

∗ The length is 50.6 feet. The question is saying that 50.6 is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width.

∗ 6w - 5.8 = 50.6

∗ 6w = 56.4

∗ w = 9.4

Now lets check.

∗ If the length is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width, and we found 9.4 as the answer, then;
6 times 9.4 - 5.8 should equal 50.6

∗ 6 • 9.4 - 5.8 = l

∗ 56.4 - 5.8 = l

∗ 50.6 = l

⋆The width is 9.4 feet⋆

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2-16=0

maks197457 [2]

Good evening.

This is a incomplete quadratic equation, because it does not have the term bx. Therefore, we can solve this faster with the following strategy:

$\mathsf{x^2 - 16 = 0}$

Add 16 to both sides:

$\mathsf{x^2 - 16 + 16 = 0 + 16}\\ \\ \mathsf{x^2 = 16}$

Take the square root:

$\mathsf{\sqrt {x^2} = \pm\sqrt{16}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\boxed{\mathsf{x = \pm4} }}$

Therefore:

$\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{S=\{-4, \ +4\}}}}$
