Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
use half the x coefficent and square it
x^2 − 6x + (-3)^2 = 10 + (-3)^2
x^2 - 6x + 9 = 10 + 9
(x - 3)^2 = 19
Answer:
150 different committees can be formed
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 6 boys and 5 girls and we want to select 5 members
Out of these 5 members, two boys are selected
Since two boys are selected, we are left with three girls
So, out of 6 boys, we select 2 boys and out of 5 girls, we select 3 girls
Mathematically, we know that the number of ways in which we can select r items from a total n follows the combinatorial formula;
nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
With this, we have;
6C2 * 5C3
= (6!/(6-2)!2!) * (5!/(5-3)!3!) = 150 different committees can be formed
Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
