Two friends are reading the same book. Amy can read 3 pages per minute, and she has already read 9 pages. Sam, who has a reading

speed of 2 pages per minute, has read 47 pages so far. The two friends decide to sit and read together. How long will it take Amy to catch up with Sam? By the time Amy catches up to Sam, how many pages will each one have read?

Amy:  (3 pages/min)(x min) + 9 pages
Sam:  (2 pages/min)(x min)  + 47 pages

Equate these:  3x+9 = 2x + 47

Then x = 38.  The two friends will have covered the same number of pages after 38 minutes.  How many pages would that be?  3(38)+9 = 123 pages.

Solve the equation by completing the square round to the nearest hundredth is necessary x^2-x-7=0
masha68 [24]

The answers are 3.19 or -2.19.

In order to complete the square, you must first get the constant to the other side of the equation. WE do that by adding 7 to both sides.

x^2 - x - 7 = 0

x^2 - x = 7

Now we must take half of the x coefficient (-1), which would be -.5. Then we square it and add it to both sides. This is the second step to any completing the square problem.

x^2 - x = 7

x^2 - x + .25 = 7.25

Now that we have done that, the left side will be a perfect square so that, we can factor it.

x^2 - x + .25 = 7.25

(x - .5)^2 = 7.25

After having done that, we can take the square root of both sides

(x - .5)^2 = 7.25

x - .5 = +/-\sqrt{7.25}

Now we can take the value of that square root and solve.

x - .5 = +/-\sqrt{7.25}

x - .5 = +/-2.69

x = .5 +/- 2.69

And with the + and - both there, we need to do both to get the two answers.

.5 + 2.69 = 3.19

.5 - 2.69 = -2.19
