place the following steps in order to complete the square and solve the quadratic equation, x^2-6x+7=0

1 answer:

4 0

We have that
x²<span>-6x+7=0
</span>Group terms that contain the same variable
(x²-6x)+7=0
Complete the square Remember to balance the equation
(x²-6x+9-9)+7=0
Rewrite as perfect squares
(x-3)²+7-9=0
(x-3)²-2=0
(x-3)²=2
(x-3)=(+/-)√2
x=(+/-)√2+3

the solutions are
x=√2+3
x=-√2+3

Well... the segment FG = 4x + 3, the segment GH = 7x - 12, now, the

segment FH = FG + GH, those two fellows added up, and we know that FG and GH are both equal halves because G is the midpoint.

thus, FG = GH
or

$\bf 4x+3=7x-12\implies 3+12=7x-4x\implies 15=3x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15}{3}=x\implies \boxed{5=x}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
thus\qquad 
\begin{cases}
\overline{FG}=4x+3\\
4(5)+3\\
23\\
------\\
\overline{GH}=7x-12\\
7(5)-12\\
23
\end{cases}\impliedby equal\ halves
\\\\\\
\overline{FH}=23+23\implies \overline{FH}=46\implies 6y-2=46
\\\\\\
6y=46+2\implies y=\cfrac{48}{6}$

and fairly sure, you know how much that is.

The answer is 60 because 10 x 2 is 20 and 5 x 8 is 40 and add those together to get 60
