Answer:

{-2,10}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x = 20

Take the coefficient of x

-8

Divide by 2

-8/2 =-4

Square it

(-4)^2 =16

Add this to each side

x^2 - 8x+16 = 20+16

x^2 - 8x+16 = 36

The left hand side becomes( x + (-8/2) )^2

(x - 4)^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x - 4)^2) =±sqrt( 36)

x-4 = ±6

Add 4 to each side

x-4+4 = 4±6

x = 4±6

x = 4+6       x = 4-6

x = 10        x = -2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

once you fill in the Blanks that are solvable, you will work your way into the answer. For example, the first column, the missing number has to be 155-76 or 79. Now you can find your answer. In the second row, “no Laptop”, you have 79 (solved above) plus 17. So your answer is 79+17 or 96.

Subtract: (3m2 + 2n) – (m2 + 2n)
maksim [4K]
The negative in front of the second bracket means that it's times by -1 so each of their signs switches: 
3m^2+2n-m^2-2n 
Add like terms 
2m^2 
the 2n cancels out
