Answer:

<em>(-2)2 - (-8) + 1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When you substitute values into an algebraic equation, you need to input the values exactly how they are given. "w" must go where there are "w"s, and "v" must go where the "v"s are, otherwise you will get an incorrect answer. All values must also carry over their signs--they are one unit--and must be inserted as such, which is why - (-8) is correct, but not - (8) or - 8. (This is because those two negatives will cancel each other out and become +8 when solving). The parenthesis around the values are important because they protect the original values of the variables, which is why (-2)2 is correct. In the case of (-2)2, it also signifies that they are "attached" by multiplication, and when solving would become -4. Without signifying that the variables are separate from the rest of the equation via the parenthesis, it becomes very easy to solve it incorrectly.

The perimeter of a pool table is 30 feet. The table is twice as long as it is wide. What is the length of the pool table?
olga55 [171]

So, 30 is the perimeter. We are told the table is twice as long as it is wide.

So, we have think of 2 numbers, one being twice as big than the other. So, it is a rectangle The two number represents the length and the width. To find the perimeter we add all the lengths and the widths. Since the pool table is a rectangle we have two lengths and two widths.

So,

the tow numbers be 10 and 5. 5 is half of 10 and, when multiplied by 2 it is 10. So just to make sure the numbers 5 and 10 work out lets do a calculation.

So,

10+5+10+5 = 30feet. This proves that the sides are these two numbers.

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.<br> =+x^2+16x +61=0
Vlad1618 [11]
X^2 + 16x + 61 = 0
x^2 + 16x = -61
x^2 + 16x + 64 = -61 + 64
(x + 8)^2 = 3
x + 8 = (+-) sqrt 3
x = -8 (+-) sqrt 3

x = -8 + sqrt 3...and x = -8 - sqrt 3 <== ur solutions
