Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x = 8
Coefficient of the x term: 6
Divide it in half: 3
Square it: 3²
Add 3² to both sides of the equation to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:
x² + 6x + 3² = 8 + 3²
(x+3)² = 17
62=2×31
82=2×41
so the answer is 2
Original Figure:
Length = 15
Width = 5
Height = 10
Volume = Length*Width*Height
Volume = 15*5*10
Volume = 750
New Figure
Length = 3
Width = 1
Height = 2
Each dimension has been divided by 5 (eg: 15/5 = 3)
Volume = Length*Width*Height
Volume = 3*1*2
Volume = 6
The old volume was 750 and it changes to 6
Notice how 750/6 = 125
Which can be rearranged to 750/125 = 6
Answer: if you divide the old volume by 125, then you get the new volume
Note: the new volume is 125 times smaller than the old volume
Put another way, the old volume is 125 times larger compared to the new volume
The fact that 125 = 5^3 is not a coincidence. If you divide each dimension by some number k, then you divide the volume by k^3
Seventy three hundreds one thousand two hundred and eighty
Answer:
Let's make "b" the amount in the account.
A withdrawal means a reduction in the balance. So we have
b - 40
