Part A:
23 + 13x ≤ 81
Part B:
23 + 13x ≤ 81
<u>-23 </u> <u>-23</u>
13x ≤ 58
<u>/13 </u> <u>/13</u>
x ≤ 4.46
Part C:
This means that you can have 4 cheeseburgers while keeping the fat under 81 grams.
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)
(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1
4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1
0= x²-8x
x²-8x=0
x²=8x
x=8
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out
