2x² - 4x = 14

<u>Divide by 2 through:</u>

x² - 2x = 7

<u>Add in the term (b/2)² :</u>

x² - 2x + (2/2)² = 7 + (2/2)²

<u>Complete the square:</u>

(x - 1)² = 7 + 1

<u>Combine like terms:</u>

(x - 1)² = 8

Answer: (x - 1)² = 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question did not ask to solve x. But here is the solution if needed to solve x:

(x - 1)² = 8

x - 1 = ±√8

x = 1 ±√+8

x =1 + 2√2 or x = 1 - 2√2

Answer: x =1 + 2√2 or x = 1 - 2√2

murzikaleks [220]

Let x be the total of students in their Junior Year.

So, 84% of x =378

84% = 0.84

0.84x=378 (divided by 0.84)

x= 450 students.

The ones that chose not to take spanish will be:

450-378=72

72 students chose not to take spanish in their junior year.

In the equation below a is a number between 0 and 1 8 x a = b which statement about the value of b is always true
Kamila [148]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

0 \le a \le 1

8*a =b

Required

Determine the true statement about b

The question is incomplete as options are not given. However, a general explanation is as follows:

Rewrite 8*a =b

b = 8 * a

When a = 0

b = 8 * 0 = 0

When a = 1

b = 8 * 1 = 8

This means that:

For 0 \le a \le 1

Then 0 \le b \le 8

<em>This means that: b is a number between 0 and 8</em>

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form with the given slope and y- intercept
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

y=1/4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is written as (y=mx+b)

<u>To define those variables:</u>

- m is the slope

- b is the y-intercept

We have been given both the slope, and the y intercept, therefore just plug in the numbers into the form:

y=1/4x+3

Team Green and Team Blue play in a competition. Team Green has twelve more points than Team Blue.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Team blue points = 4 points

Team green points = 16 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Team blue points = x

Team green points = (x + 12) points (1)

Team green points = 4x (2)

Equate equation (1) and (2)

x + 12 = 4x

12 = 4x - x

12 = 3x

x = 12/3

x = 4 points

Team blue points = x

= 4 points

Team green points = (x + 12)

= 4 + 12

= 16 points

Team green points = 4x

= 4(4)

= 16 points
