Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. =+x^2+16x +61=0

1 answer:

3 0

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

Make y the subject: <br><br> 5x + 2y = 11

Anton [14]

Does that mean solve for y? If so, here it is:
5x + 2y = 11.

Move the x term by subtracting.
2y = -5x + 11

Divide by 2.
y = -5/2x + 11/2

A particular chemistry book costs $6 less than a particular physics book, while two such chemistry books and three such physics

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the Physics book costs $x

The Chemistry book will cost $x - $6

Two such Chemistry books will cost;

2($x - $6) = $(2x - 12)

Three such Physics books cost $3x

$(2x - 12) + $3x = $123

$5x - $12 = $123

$5x = $111

x = $22 $\frac{1}{5}$

So the Physics book costs; $22 $\frac{1}{5}$

and the Chemistry book costs $22 $\frac{1}{5}$ - 6 = $16 $\frac{1}{5}$
