Answer:
D) x = ± 2√5 - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + 16x - 8 = 0
Yah, i plugged this into m a t h w a y
(all of ur questions pretty much can use this app or website)
X = Lilys weight
x + 34 = Arthurs weight
4x - 180 = combined weight
x + x + 34 = 4x = 180
2x + 34 = 4x - 180
-2x -2x
_________________
34 = 2x -180
+180 + 180
_______________
214 = 2x
107 = x which is Lily's weight
141 = x + 34 which is Arthur's weight
The total weight is 248
which is the answer that you get when you do 4(107) = 180 or
428 -180 = 248
Y=1000*1.03^x is the correct compound recursive formula!
