Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Move the 6 to the other side: x^2 +4x =6

2. Square half the coefficient of the x term: (4/2)^2 = 4

3. Add this 4, and then subtract this 4, from x^2 + 4x:

x^2 +4x + 4 - 4 =6

4. Rewrite this perfect square as the square of a binomial:

(x + 2)^2 - 4 = 6

5. Add 4 to both sides: (x + 2)^2 = 10

6. Find the sqrt of both sides: x + 2 = √

Answer: division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

8x = 80

You divide the number with the letter you are trying to find (x) on both sides, so 8 divided by 80, you get 10.

A customer pays $1,100 in state taxes on a newly purchased car. What is the value of the car if state taxes are 8.9% of the valu

Ganezh [65]

The taxes are figured as follows: 0.089(value of car)

Here the taxes are 0.089(value of car) = $1100.

Divide both sides of this equation by 0.089 to determine the value of the car.

value of car = $12359.55, or approx $12360.

Answer:

x = 3

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is a 45°, 45°, 90° triangle. The longest side ( 6 $\sqrt{2}$ ) can be $x\sqrt{2}$ while AB and CB are x. Because 6 $\sqrt{2}$ is equal to $x\sqrt{2}$ , you can see that x is equal to 6. Both AB and CB are equal to 6. ΔBDC ( CDB ) is a right triangle ( 30°, 60°, 90° ) so, BD = x, CB = 2x, and CD = $x\sqrt{3}$ . CB is equal to 6 so 2x = 6, x = 3.
