Answer:

k = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x  - sqrt(k) )^2              Expand this as a binomial                          

4x^2 - 4x*sqrt(k) + k      The middle term must be -20x Solve for k so it is

-4xsqrt(k) = - 20x            Divide by -4x

sqrt(k) = -20x/-4x             Do the division

sqrt(k) = 5                         Square both sides

k = 25

What’s the answer to 14?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

  • |t -(-5)| = 1.5
  • [-6.5, -3.5] = [minimum, maximum]

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the difference between the temperature (t) and -5 will be 1.5 at the limits:

  |t -(-5)| = 1.5

This is equivalent to two equations:

  • t +5 = -1.5
  • t +5 = 1.5

In each case, the equation is solved by subtracting 5 from both sides:

  • t = -6.5 . . . . minimum allowed temperature
  • t = -3.5 . . . . maximum allowed temperature

A car has a gasoline
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Yes, look at the explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Calculate how many miles a car can drive with 1 gallon: 285 miles ÷ 10 = 28.5 miles with one gallon
  2. Divide 500 by 28.5 to calculate how many gallons are needed: 500 ÷ 28.5 ≈ 17.543 - Therefore yes, it is possible because the car uses about 17.543 gallons of gasoline for 500 miles.
