Answer: the starting temperature is - 7 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the starting temperature.

Then the temperature doubled. It means that it became 2x degrees

Then the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 degrees.

Then the temperature increased by 40 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 + 40 = 2x + 30 degrees.

If the temperature is now 16 degrees, it means that

2x + 30 = 16

2x = 16 - 30

2x = - 14

x = - 14/2

x = - 7 degrees

What equation results from completing the square and then factoring? x^2-8x=39
erma4kov [3.2K]
We have that
x²<span>-8x=39
</span>

<span>Group terms that contain the same variable</span>

(x²-8x)=39

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

(x²-8x+16)=39+16

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x-4)²=55-------> (x-4)²-55=0

(+/-)]x-4]=√55

(+)]x-4]=√55--------> x=4+√55

(-)]x-4]=√55-------> x=4-√55


the answer is

 (x-4)²-55=0

Clare has 80 pencils and 56 erasers to give away. What is the largest number of group that can formed with the same numbers of p
Leokris [45]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume each person in the group must have 1 pencil AND 1 eraser each.

Since you have more pencils than erasers, then the limiting factor is the number of erasers. So a group of 56 people will have 1 pencil And 1 eraser and Clare will have 24 pencils left over (assuming Clare has her own pencil and eraser - if not then the group size is 55 assuming Clare is not in the group)

sorry if it's too confusing

Sandra saves 9% of her salary for retirement this year salary was 1000 more than in her previous year and she saved $4050 what w
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

$44,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement indicates that Sandra saves 9% of her salary and she saved $4,050 this year. That means that the 9% of her salary, x, is equal to $4,050. You can write the following:

x*0.09= 4,050

Now, you can isolate x to find her salary this year:

x=4,050/0.09= 45,000

Then, you have that this year salary was 1000 more than in her previous year. As you have found her salary for this year, you can subtract 1,000 from it to find her salary in the previous year:

45,000-1,000= 44,000

According to this, the answer is that her salary in the previous year was $44,000.

Make x the subject of formular y=5√x+3-4
pochemuha

Answer:

x={(y+1) / 5}²

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5√x +3 -4

⇒y = 5√x -1

add 1 on both sides

⇒ y + 1 = 5√x

divide both sides by 5

⇒(y+1) / 5   = (5√x) /5

⇒(y+1) / 5   = √x

now, square both sides

⇒{(y+1) / 5}²  = (√x)²

∴{(y+1) / 5}² = x
