Is it possible for two different numbers, when squared, to give the same result? What does this result tell you about solving an

equation when the variable is squared? How many solutions will an equation like this have? Will there always be the same number of solutions for any equation with a squared variable? Explain.

Let x,y be two different numbers
suppose x^2=y^2
then x^2-y^2=0
which yields (x+y)(x-y)=0
so either x=y or x=-y
In any case, x and y must be the same value
also when a vairable is squared like y=x^2
we must note that there are 2 possible solutions
x=(+/-)sqrt(y)

True or false: Outliers can cause data sets to be skewed.

True - since the outlier is way off it will cause your average to mess up which is why we test multiple times to make sure we are more accurate with our numbers

Solve for n: -16 + 3n = -(8 +5n)
umka21 [38]

-16 + 3n = -(8 + 5n)

The - sign outside the parentheses acts as a -1, and so it is distributed to each term in the parentheses.

-16 + 3n = -8 - 5n

+16

3n = 8 - 5n

+5n

8n = 8

/8

n = 1

18.4 + 8w = 6 (9w - 4.6)
svp [43]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

18.4 + 8w = 6(-4.6 + 9w)

18.4 + 8w = (-4.6 * 6 + 9w * 6)

18.4 + 8w = (-27.6 + 54w)

18.4 + 8w + -54w = -27.6 + 54w + -54w

18.4 + -46w = -27.6 + 54w + -54w

18.4 + -18.4 + -46w = -27.6 + -18.4


Combine like terms: 18.4 + -18.4 = 0.0

0.0 + -46w = -27.6 + -18.4

-46w = -27.6 + -18.4

-27.6 + -18.4 = -46

-46w = -46


w = 1


Simplifying

w = 1
