Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote:

a: number of students wearing sneakers

b: number of students wearing boots

We have:

a + b = 36

a/b = 4/5 (multiply both sides by b => a = 4b/5)

Substitute a = 4b/5 into a + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + 5b/5 = 36

=> 9b/5 = 36

=> b/5 = 4

=> b = 20

=> a = 4b/5 = 4(20)/5 = 16

Solving Square Root Worksheet (x - k)^2 Part 3
erastova [34]

Answer:

7. x = -2 +/- 4i\sqrt{5}

8. x = 2 or x = 6

9. x = -2 +/- \frac{\sqrt{26} }{2} i

10. t = -3 +/- \sqrt{35}

Step-by-step explanation:

7. Subtract 320 from both sides: 4(x + 2)^2 = -320

Divide by 4: (x + 2)^2 = -80

Square root both sides: x + 2 = +/- \sqrt{-80}. We need to add the imaginary i to this: +/- \sqrt{-80} = +/- i\sqrt{80} = +/- 4i\sqrt{5}

Subtract 2 from both sides: x = -2 +/- 4i\sqrt{5}

8. Add 18 to both sides: 7(x - 4)^2 = 28

Divide by 7: (x - 4)^2 = 4

Square root both sides: x - 4 = +/- 2

Add 4 to both sides: x = 4 +/- 2  ⇒  x = 2 or x = 6

9. Add 5 to both sides: -2(x + 2)^2 = 13

Divide by -2: (x + 2)^2 = -13/2

Square root both sides: x + 2 = +/- \sqrt{-13/2}. We again need i: +/- \sqrt{-13/2} = +/- i\sqrt{13/2} = +/- \frac{\sqrt{26} }{2} i

Subtract 2 from both sides: x = -2 +/- \frac{\sqrt{26} }{2} i

10. Multiply by 5 on both sides: (t + 3)^2 = 35

Square root both sides: t + 3 = +/- \sqrt{35}

Subtract 3: t = -3 +/- \sqrt{35}

Hope this helps!
