Add 10 both sides
(x-4)^2=25
sqrt both sides
remember to take positive and negative roots
x-4=+/-5
add 4
x=4+/-5

it is because the square  of z is the same as the square of -z for example

it is becasue of of the property of squareing numbers

Let's solve it first, so that we can understand whats going on in the equation

(x-4)²-10=15
add 10 to both sides
(x-4)²=25
square root both sides

(Okay, so here is where the problem can have 2 solutions. Because the square root of 25 could be (5*5) or it could be (-5*-5). If it's positive five then...

x-4=5
add 4 to both sides
x=9

if it's negative 5 then...

x-4=-5
add 4 to both sides
x=-1

So the answer could be x=-1 or x=9. 

It has two solutions because there are two possibilities for the answer to the square root of 25.

Answer:

No there cannot be the same number of stickers on each page.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find out how many stickers need to be in every page to be even you would add all the stickers up. 6+6+9+10+11= 42. Take the 42 and divide it by 5 to see how many stickers would go in each page. This will give you 8.4. However since this number is a decimal it can't be split evenly in whole stickers for each page. Meaning that it wouldn't be possible for each page to have a evenly distributed number of stickers per each page.

Answer:

W = 2.5d + 62

Step-by-step explanation:

The calf weighed 62 pounds when they were born. This gives us a base of 62 pounds - the calf cannot weigh less than 62 pounds and it does on day 0. On each day , the calf gains 2.5 pounds. We can times the number to days by 2.5 to get the gain from day 0. We can add these two values together to get the total current weight of the calf.
