Suppose that this person drives at r mph going to the mountains, and gets there in 12 hours.  Returning, this person drives at (r+20) mph and gets home in 8 hours.  We don't know the distance yet, but can solve for the initial speed, r, by setting

d = 12r = (r+20)(8).  Solving for r, r=40 mph (going) and (40+20)mph = 60 mph (returning.  Since d=12 r, d = (12 hrs)(40 mph) = 480 miles (answer).

Complete the square to the problem X^2+6x-16=0
marishachu [46]

Answer:

<h2>x = -8 or x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\-------------------------------\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\qquad\text{add 16 to both sides}\\\\x^2+6x=16\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=16\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=16+3^2\\\\(x+3)^2=16+9\\\\(x+3)^2=25\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{25}\\\\x+3=-5\ \vee\ x+3=5\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{x=-8\ \vee\ x=2}

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The value of y is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of y, you have to put in x = 0 into the equation :

y =  {x}^{2}  - 6x + 8

Let x = 0,

y =  {0}^{2}  - 6(0) + 8

y = 8
