This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !
You're totally correct, as far you went. x² + 2x does = -1
Now add ' 1 ' to each side: x² + 2x + 1 = 0
Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?
Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.
x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²
So the solutions of x² + 2x + 1 = 0 are both x = -1 .
Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.
Y = $35.25(6) + 40
y = $211.5 + $40= $251.50
the answer is a
32.5 is the correct answer
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the parts of the ratio 4 + 2 = 6 parts
Divide 24 by 6 to find the value of one part of the ratio
24 ÷ 6 = 4 ← value of 1 part, thus
number of boys = 4 × 4 = 16
number of girls = 2 × 4 = 8
Hence there are 8 more boys than girls
