Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary? X^2+3x=24

Mathematics

X^2+3x=24, halve the linear coefficient, square it, and add it to both sides

In this case (3/2)^2=2.25

x^2+3x+2.25=26.25 now the left side is a perfect square...

(x+1.5)^2=26.25  take the square root of both sides

x+1.5=±√26.25  subtract 1.5 from both sides

x=-1.5±√26.25

x=-1.5-√26.25 and -1.5+√26.25

x≈ -6.62 and 3.62

You have a part time job. You work for 3 hours on Friday and 6 hours on Saturday. You also receive an allowance of $20 per week.
Svetradugi [14.3K]
$92 - $20 = $72, because we shouldn't take allowance into account
3 + 6 = 9, because that is the total number of hours this person works per week
We should just do this:
72 / 9 = 8
This means that this person earns $8 per hour at his part time job.
