Please:  Use "^" to denote exponentiation:  <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2:             </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6.  Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

</span> x^2 + 4x +4  - 4 - 6 = 0.  Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10.  Take the sqrt of both sides:   x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x:  x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).

Nitella [24]

Answer:

n = P/8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Jose’s pay (P) depends on the number (n) of hours he works.

P = 8.75n     Divide both sides by 8.75

n = P/8.75

=====

P = $61.25

n = 61.25/8.75

n = 7 h

Jose worked for 7 h.
