First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25
Now we simplify to show it as a square.
(x - 4)^2 = 25
Next we take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +/- 5
Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides
x = 4 +/- 5
4 + 5 = 9
4 - 5 = -1
Answer:
1.rocky
Step-by-step explanation
1.we have the add the powers of x,not multiply.
Answer: D.
Step-by-step explanation:
X+6
1.75 + 0.65m < = 10
0.65m < = 10 - 1.75
0.65m < = 8.25
m < = 8.25 / 0.65
m < = 12.69 miles <==
X+y=9
y=8x
x+8x= 9
9x = 9
x = 9/9
x = 1
y = 8(1)
y =8
